Have you tried using ScanPST multiple times? Sometimes you need to run it
more than once...

How do you know the PST was corrupt if there was no message? Try this: with
Outlook closed, delete the file %AppData%\Microsof\Outlook\outcmd.dat. Then
restart Outlook. What happens?

There are any number of ways to damage a PST. We'd have to know a lot more
about what happened on your PC just prior to the problem.
