There is a tool provided by Microsoft that can fix this that
you contact them for.

However, there is another way:

Probably a corrupt meeting in the calendar. I have found that
it is usually in a recurring appointment that has gone bad.

1) Open the Outlook but do not try to open the calendar.

2) Create a New folder (Calendar Test)

3) Do an advanced find on the old calendar and sort events
by recurrence.

- Press F3
- Change the Look For: text box to Appointments and Meetings
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Click Field
- Select All Appointment fields
- Select Recurring
- Condition: equals
- Value: Yes
- Click the Add to List button
- Click Find Now

Drop and drag from advanced find listed events one at a time to
the new calendar, when you get to the corrupt item it will give
you an error message or it will hang. (delete this item)
I have found that the corrupt item is always in the week that
the corruption started. In other words, Start on the week of
that Sunday and the corruption is probably there.

Or if it is not a recurring (which our's always are) you could
perform the find for all and do the same as above...

Move all your calendar items from Calendar Test folder back to
original calendar (these are previously dragged over items).
