.pst gets corrupted everytime i reboot my pc
Hi,
I am using outlook 2003. Everytime I reboot my desktop my .pst gets corrupted and I can't recover any mails using scanpst.exe. On contacting the helpdesk they told me it could be because the .pst was on the desktop, which I find a bit wierd. Any way to recover the mails. |

.pst gets corrupted everytime i reboot my pc
HI,
My Local IT hellp desk. The .pst was located on the desktop. It's a microsoft exchange server. So I kept moving my moving to the local pst whenever the quota was full. Lost two pst on two re-boots and scanpst.exe is unable to recover the mails from the damaged pst. "DL" wrote: Help desk, what help desk? What type of mail configuration?, where is the pst located?

.pst gets corrupted everytime i reboot my pc
Is the PST on the desktop a shortcut or is it the actual PST?
The location of the actual PST shouldn't matter but you should also realize that your PST won't be backed up if you don't do it yourself. However, if you keep your PST on a network drive, that might explain the corruption since any interruption in network traffic between Outlook and a PST that's not kept locally on the PC can cause this problem. What errors are you seeing that tells you that your PST is corrupt? What size is your PST? Was it brought over from an older version of Outlook? -- Kathleen Orland Please support me in my efforts: SPCA Friends for Life 2010 Walk-A-Thon http://ontariospca.akaraisin.com/p/kathleenorland.aspx "Amit" wrote in message ...

.pst gets corrupted everytime i reboot my pc
Hi,
No, it was not on network drive. The actual .pst was on the desktop and not the shortcut. When I reboot It is not added to my outlook profile. When I try to add the .pst it says the file is corrut and should be scanned using scanpst.exe. However, the recovered .pst has no mails.

Search your harddrive for all PST's to see if there are others. Make sure
you click the Advanced button when you search so you can include hidden folders and files. -- Kathleen Orland Please support me in my efforts: SPCA Friends for Life 2010 Walk-A-Thon http://ontariospca.akaraisin.com/p/kathleenorland.aspx "Amit" wrote in message ...
