Inbox repair tool

[Paula]

Outlook 2007 will not open. It gives me a message saying the file
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst is in use and
cannot be accessed.

I've used the inbox repair tool which has been suggested in other posts.
This runs until near the very end when I receive a message saying that the
check cannot be completed.

Any suggestions to fix Outlook?

Boot win into safe mode, does Outlook now function?

How big is the .pst file? Is it unicode or ansi?
