Can't get messages-"access to .pst file denied"

OL won't download or send messages-error message reads:
"Messages couldn't be retrieved from the server ....due to server or network
problems"
And:
"....the .pst file could not be accessed. Access is
denied....Error#0x80040116 "
I can't delete messages either.
Worked fine before. Running W98SE/OL2000
I CAN get messages via my ISP's HTML email account which is the mail server
being used.
Tried "detect and repair"-it reloaded but didn't fix.

Thanks for the response. I tried the truncation tool recommended in that
article but my pst file is not "big enough" for it to truncate. Any other
ideas?

Turns out it was a bad disk sector which scandisk fixed. I guess I should
have tried that first!
