Why is Entourage getting corrupted, sometimes repeatedly?
What is the final fix?
Sometimes the repeated error that the database is corrupted comes from a
corrupt preference file. Try deleting this preference file in your User's
--> Library Preferences:
com.microsoft.OfficeNotifications.plist
Other options to check:
* Bad RAM.
* Being low on disk space. To check your disk space, use the Activity
Monitor. Click on Disk Usage in the bottom menu bar and select the volume
where you have Office installed. You can also use Disk Utility to see
detailed information about a disk or volume. To learn more, open Disk
Utility in the /Applications/Utilities folder and refer to Disk Utility
Help.
The "Verify database" has been known to give false reports. To see if the
background verify option is giving a false report, try running the Database
Utility and having it do a verify operation. If it gives you a clean bill of
health, you know you are safe in turning off the background checking.
Some users have had to uncheck this preference to stop the constant
warnings. If you are not experiencing any problems turn off the "Verify
database". I do recommend that you run regular backups of your database. Use
Tasks to set up a reminder.
