Unable to display Folder in Outloook -Microsoft Office 2000

[Shaun]

Hi Everyone,

I am new here and am having trouble with my Outlook and Microsoft Office
2000. I have just received this message:

"Unable to display the folder. Errors have been detected in the file
C:\Documents and Settings\Aplication Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst.
Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Too."

I follow the instructions then come accross this message:

"Insert the 'Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Professional' disk and click OK."

The problem is Microsoft Office 2000 Professional came on my computer (I got
it used from an old office that was upgrading its computers). I do not have
the disk(s). If I were to purchase the disk(s) would I be able to fix this?
If so, where do I purchase? I have a lot of info in my address book and I
can not afford to lose it.

Please Help.

The inbox repair tools should already be installed on the system. Search
for scanpst.exe.

Other than that, the message is just telling you that the PST file that
stores your messages, calendar, contacts, .etc is wiggy. Repair it with
scanpst.exe. If you continue to see this, I would consider creating a new
PST file and then moving the items over from the old one.

Sounds like you did Help>Detect and Repair instead of using the Inbox Repair
Tool. Describe exactly what you did to get that message.

The problem is Microsoft Office 2000 Professional came on my computer (I

have
the disk(s). If I were to purchase the disk(s) would I be able to fix

If you can find an Office disk that matches what's installed, it should
work.

If so, where do I purchase?

eBay?
