How to fix a corrupted .pst file

original title: corrupted PSt file and I've tried everything I know of...

Vista and Outlook 2007.

I opened outlook a few days ago and received the error msg telling you that the .pst file is damaged and you need to run the Inbox Repair tool.  When I clicked 'OK' she keeps just for Outlook.  I tried the tool and could not find even with checked hidden files.  I stumbled upon a 3rd party recovery tool and he ran b/c it is 'free '.  I was joking b/c they wanted $130 after getting all my files and I don't know actually, they recovered their.  I then tried to find scanpst.exe on my installation diskettes file, but I have not found them.  Then I downloaded the scanpst.exe online file and tried to run.  I get an error message immediately and it won't work.  I looked at hundreds of forums and posts, and nothing works.

What else can I try?

Hello

see if that helps

  • How to fix a corrupted PDF file

    Hey guys,.

    Hope that's not too easy a question, but I have a PDF file that is damaged and will not open on my site. I did a search and there were a lot of results, but most seem to point to different types of software that you download. If need be, I'll have to go in this direction, but I thought I'd post here until I did it.

    Thanks in advance

    This is probably due to the size and the fact that it is not "optimized for Fast Web View'. When I use PDF Optimzer to reduce the size of the file, she went from 10,85 MB to 4.58 MB. When optimized for fast web view, the first page displays much more quickly, then otherwise.

  • How to fix a corrupted by MBL Virus files?

    Hello BearPup,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    Your impressive support is appreciated.

    I was recommended to try to repair files affected with Recuva.

    But I'll try your suggestion first two program.

    I will surely you know how it goes.

    Best regards

    Hello Mr. ML.

    You're welcome and thank you for your kind words. The problem, Recuva is a file recovery application. They allow you to recover a file (or folder or partition) that has been deleted or damaged otherwise. Another freeware program, you can use - it's the only one on my system - is 7 - Data Recovery Suite, available here: http://download.cnet.com/7-Data-Recovery-Free/3000-2094_4-75905667.html.

    Just to be clear, this is equivalent to a backup in case your backup (if all goes well now) fails for some reason any. Part of the concern here is that the corrupted files are potentially carriers of the virus or anything would be able to re - corrupting your system.

    Frankly, if it were my system, I'd be less likely to try to repair files corrupt and much more likely to replace everything. And Yes, I have separated from my system disk backups and my data disc, baked upward on the other two disks. Readers are cheap. So if you have backups and / or can make a reinstallation is complete, it would be my first choice recommendation.

    If you can't do that for some reason, some tips for the use of data recovery software.

    • Stop any activity involving the disk or disks that you want to recover files from. The reason is simple, the computer "works" - reads and writes information in the hard drive, more lucky that some of the files to recover will finish itself be replaced. The more often that happens the higher the risk that you will not get a "good recovery" - too much information will be unrecoverable.
    • Do not install it on the same drive you want to recover files from. Its OK to install the program on your D:\ or you get the portable version on a flash drive.
    • Given that the source of the problem is a virus / malware, i. by 'wash' everything you get with your antivirus program as soon as they are recovered.

    Good luck to you and keep me updated.

    Kind regards

  • Movie compilation error, how to fix a corrupted file?

    So, I work with Adobe first CC, and it has not been able to export, always saying "error compiling Movie, unknown error". After days of searching through these tips of countless people with the same problem and no solution, I landed on the question being there which is "damaged", there is a clip... So, I give everything and it stops, give me the same error message on which I guess is the damaged element. Well, I found it. But for me, it seems to be nothing wrong with it. I can't just walk out the film, how this file even become "damaged" and how to fix it?

    Update for anyone who runs into this problem. What I ended up doing is to find each clip "damaged" (I surrender all and it stops, give me the same error message on which I guess is the damaged clip). I had damaged about 10 clips in a 90-minute film. I typed in the name of the file and everyone in my backup hard drive, copied to the disc I store the files I use Adobe and rename each file (personally I just use the same name and add "2" at the end). Then I did slide the clip renamed on the timeline. I didn't waste time to find out exactly how I cut each clip so I pulled the clip up to V2, drawn to its original length, matched that with the file renamed, removed the damaged file, resized a new space damaged the damaged one busy and I was able to add a stabilizer of string to it and it has made and exported without problem.

  • How can I fix a corrupted Hosts file?

    McAfee technical support took control of my keyboard/mouse to download a update of their total Protection software. The update process has not completed because the download seems to hang due to some sort of network problem. In analyzing the problem, the person tech support tried to make changes and updated Hosts file, in vain. They then told me to contact Microsoft and tell them that the Hosts file has been altered, preventing them to update.

    Looks like a bunch of BS from McAfee.  My real suggestion is to drop it and go with a decent product - perhaps eSet or Avira or something in that sense.

  • Cannot follow the directions to learn how to fix a corrupt exactly user profile.

    When I followed the following instructions;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    I can do everything through the seven step but when I do extra files that would appear under the folders do not appear.  To get these files to appear I have to open windows explore and go to tools > folder options > view and uncheck "Hide protected files of the operating system (recommended).

    I can then follow the seven-eleven steps and everything seems to work OK.  But it leaves me curious to know what may be wrong.

    Any ideas?

    You say that you have completed all the steps until step 7...

    Step 5 tells you to 'clear the Hide protected operating system files check box... "- so you should have already passed this check box in step 5 and I don't understand why you have to clear the box still in step 7 to see the files.

    If you are copy and paste all the files except ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log and ntuser.ini by following the instructions in step 7, then you do it right.

  • How do I open a pst file directly from windows search results screen

    I try to open a pst file from the windows of search results.  I can open the pdf, doc, xls, ppt files etc.  but no more pst.  I already tried to change the description of filter in the Advanced Option of indexation for pst files, but I have not available a filter Microsoft Office, only a plain text filter and a filter file properties. Do you know how I can activate it?

    A pst file is actually a database and is not readable text in the normal sense. To open it, the only way is to install Outlook, as the database driver.

    Use the file - management of data files in Outlook to attach the PST file.
