Help: Outlook 2000 Data File Recovery

A

alistair@fyfe-it

Whenever I attempt to do anything after Outlook loads it hands and has to be
terminated from the Task Manager. I think the data file may be too large or
corrupted. Is there anything I can do to recover this situation? I seem to be
unable to delete messages from the Inbox, or to archive, or to export
Contacts.

Cheers

Version of Outlook?
Size of pst-file?
Ran scanpst.exe against your pst-file already?

I have now run scanpst and this did not find any problems.
