Outlook will not run, it shows several error messages always refering to the
Outlook2.pst file either an error occured that prevents it from saving to it
or similar type message. I ran a scanpst form the toolbox and it said there
was no error. I do not have a copy of the Outlook software so can not
reinstall it (it came on my computer).
 
It helps telling some details like the exact error, your version of Outlook
and the size of your pst-file.
 
I thnk it is Outlook 2003 (it was installed on my computer in Dec. of 2004).

Error reads: Cannot start the reminder service unable to show reminders.
An error occurred that prevented the file C\Documents and Settings\Jim\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook2.pst from being saved.
Close and restart all mail enabled applications.

Outlook2.pst is 244 MB

Thanks for responding and working on this.

I tried starting a 3.pst but it still trys going to 2.pst
