scanpst.exe crashes while fixing PST file
I have a PST file that is about 1.97 GB in size. Outlook says it is corrupt
and can't open, to run scanpst.exe. I do run the program on the pst file but it crashes around step 4. I copy the file and move it to two other computers thinking there is something wrong with my computer. And those two programs crash also... Is there a new version of scanpst that won't crash? Or is there a third party software that you would recommend?

scanpst.exe crashes while fixing PST file
While I don't know if there is an issue with any ScanPST version around the
2gb mark (will gladly leave that for someone else to answer) - there are a few tidbits of info you neglected to include: #1 - Current version of Outlook in use #2 - Version of Outlook PST file that you are running ScanPST against My personal experience with running ScanPST for an Outlook '2007 installation on a PST file created for an earlier version has been less than stellar but never had any version crash.

scanpst.exe crashes while fixing PST file
I'm guessing it crashes because of the file size - 2GB is the max size for
ANSI pst.
