Why scan stops when using the Inbox Repair Tool?

[Guest]

Hi,

On Windows 2000 SP4, Outlook 2000 returned the following message when
attempting to open it: "Erros have been detected in the file C:\Documents and
Settings\...\Outlook\OUTLOOK.PST. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and
then use the Inbox Repair Tool."

Using the Inbox Repair Tool (SCANPST.EXE), the scan stops at ~80% progress
returning the following message: "An error has occurred which caused the scan
to be stopped. No changes have been made to the scanned file."

I unfortunately cannot find any reference/additional information to this
glitch on the net - can anybody help on this?

As a hint, I think there might be some problem due to very little disk space
left on the main C drive (480Mb), while the OUTLOOK.PST file is now 1.97Gb.

Thanks,
X-Tof
