MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Outlook 2007 Repeatedly Checks pst File
Hi, Most times when I open Outlook 2007, it complains that the .pst file was not closed properly and performs a data check on it. I take special care to always close Outlook properly prior to shutting down or switching to Sleep mode. I'm running Vist Ultimate. Any ideas what may be wrong with it? Is it an Outlook bug or some corruption with my .pst file, given that it had no problems before when I was running Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro SP2. If it is a .pst file corrpution, would exporting the file, deleting and re-importing it fix it? Thanks for any light you can shed on that. WJB Verify that when you close Outlook the outlook.exe also actually stops. If not, there is your problem.

I'll check it out. One other thing, though. I have my Hotmail account set up on Outlook. It's always worked flawlessly on previous versions of Outlook. With the Vista/Outlook 2007 combination, it keeps asking me for my Hotmail id/password intermittently even when I keep it open. Is that also caused by some add-in?

I was under the impression that the Outlook Connector is only for Hotmail accounts created after, I think, Novemeber 2004. My account is over 10 years old. If I go back and run Outlook 2003 under Windows XP Pro, I don't have that problem at all. 2. I actually installed the connector on a friend's Vista computer who had a new Hotmail account, and it created a whole host of problems where Outlook could not at all connect to Hotmail, failing the id/password check continuously. Is this the only available solution?

I have a very old account as well but were not able to create a new HTTP connection on a new computer. I wasn't able to test it fully but it almost appears that there is some sort of detection for that. I can't tell from here what the issues of your friend were caused by but I'd still recommend using the Outlook Connector for yourself.
