Has SCANPST changed with OL 2010?

[Andrew Hamilton]

I just upgraded to Office 2010 (MSDN version) from Office 2003.
(Overall, Outlook improvements seem nice, but the ribbon is sometimes
a challenge.)

One issue for me is that SCANPST no longer works with a clever
third-party program that first calls scanpst.exe and then
automatically "clicks" the button to fix the file if there are errors.

Does anyone know of another program or other approaches I can use so
that can accomplish this task.

Thanks

You should not need to run scanpst so frequently that you need a helper app
for it. If it is becoming corrupt, you need to address the causes - usually
3rd party programs that access the data.

The only third-party application that I use is Norton Internet

Is it scanning the pst files for viruses or scanning incoming/outgoing
email? Neither is necessary and both will cause issues.
