Outlook 2000 error for fileclose to, but not over 2GB
pst file is 1.96GB. While open, I get error message from the Rules Wizard. Then, error message states the XXXXX.pst file cannot be accessed. Of course, after this I cannot open Outlook.
Scanpst.exe runs till phase 7 then gives an error message.
Running the "trim" file from MS and then scanpst.exe yields same error.
Also, why does the trim file cut off the most recent items rather than the oldest items?

Neither the scanpst.exe or the 2 meg "trim tool" do not work.
Did you create a new profile and then import the old PST to see if that would help
ASKER
Yes, the new profile is working, but the import will not workb/c the pst file is evidently corrupted.
have you also tried to do file --> open --> outlook data file and then tried get the PST file that way ?
ASKER
Yes, no luck there either.

Check if that would help
Is there is any other issue with other files or drives in your machine..
At the first place , you just got this PST file from your own machine.. Trying this PST in a different computer , with a different outlook or same oultlook version ,will not hurt..
Also update your OL fully before importing and see the difference
