I use Outlook 2003. The pst file is saved locally. Today I was doing a search in Outlook and it was taking too long. Instead of waiting, I just closed the program via Task Manager. When I went to restart Outlook, it naturally detected that my file was not closed properly and it had to be checked for errors. Unfortunately I never archived my pst file and it is 19gig!!! Outlook keeps crashing when it tries to check it. I tried scanpst.exe but after it took over an hour for it to check it, it said it found erros and I needed to repair them. when I clicked repair, that program crashed as well.
Is there anyway around having a pst file loaded into outlook without repairing it? My file is not corrupt, it was just closed improperly. I doubt that caused any errors (even though scanpst said it found errors), but even if it does have erros, how do I go about getting it fixed withough the program crashing while fixing it?
I have 4 years of work stuck in that 19gigs! HELP!
