I put on Office 2007 on my computer last night. I've had it on before, but
friends couldn't open my Word attachments, so I uninstalled it a few months
ago, and went back to using Office 2003. When I put Office 2007 back on my
computer the other night, I used Outlook to send an email and as far as I
know it worked. However, when I went into Outlook 2007 yesterday morning, I
got this message -
"Unable to open your default email folders. Errors have been detected in the
file D:\Documents and Settings\Marjorie Lloyd\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst. quit Outlook and all mail-enable
applications, and the use the Inbox repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and
repair errors in the file. For more information about the Inbox repair tool,
see Help."
I can't very well use the Inbox repair tool if I can't even get into
Outlook. Where do I find the Help? Why would I have this problem now, when I
didn't have it the last time I installed Office 2007 a few months ago? By the
way, all of the other programs, like Word, Power Point, etc work.
Also, I tried uninstalling Outlook 2007 and re-installing Office 2003, but I
get the same message, so both of them don't work now. Should I do virus scan
and try again? I doubt very much I have a virus, as I do scans regulary,
every week.
I tried the scanpst.exe issue in Outllook 2007 on this website, but it
didn't help. Would a re-formatting of my hard drive help? What about starting
in 'safe mode'.
