pst problem

[sungolfer]

I have a pst file of all my contacts and one for all my emails and
both are saying they are corrupt.

They are for 2003 outlook and i am unable to transfer them to 2003 or
2007 which i have just bought for another computer.

My outlook was having a problem on one of the computers and i have
since uninstalled it. The idea was to re install but that isn`t
working so i upgraded to a 2007.

However, the pst file wont load onto anything.

Are there any ideas about what to do or any software that can recover
the information.

thanks for all the help

If your PST file is corrupt, there is a repair utility you can run called
scanpst.exe. Do a file/folder search of your C drive for it. Close Outlook.
When it comes up, double-click it and follow the instructions. It will ask
you to browse to your PST file, make sure you know the location so that you
can run the repair. You may want to run the repair repeatedly until no
further errors come up. Then open Outlook again.

I tried this and it said it was corrupt and said it repaired it but it
is still saying it is corrupt when i try to upload into outlook.

Sorry any other thoughts or programs that i can use. I see many
advertised?

Is there anyway i can get this information.

You may have to run SCANPST several times. Keep running it until it
says there are no more errors.
