MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / July 2006contacts folder problems
Trying to display Contacts folder, error message appears saying outlook.pst is in use and could not be accessed, close all programmes and try again. I run xp professional and have an O2 XDA which I synchronise regularly. E-mails are very slow to load and I can't back up as an error message appears talking about cyclical stuff when it reaches the last 30 seconds. Any help please? Post some information please. Include: 1. Outlook version 2. A clearer description of what you are trying to do. 3. Your information store. 4. The steps that produced this problem.

As in cyclical redundancy error? You either have a severely damaged PST file or a damaged hard drive or both. I trust you back up your data. Run the Inbox Repair Tool on your PST file to look for errors. Run a scandisk utility on your hard drive to look for errors. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > >> > 3. Your information store.

Just two days ago my MS Outlook started not responding and I can't delete my messages (I think I have a virus) or do anything. Thanks for helping. > Thanks for your help. worked a treat! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > > > PST \> I have this same problem, and where do I run a repair for my inbox? Look in the "Microsoft Office" menu for "Microsoft Office Tools" and, in there, the "Inbox Repair Tool". Otherwise, search your hard drive for "SCANPST.EXE", which is the same thing. > Also, where do I do a scandisk utility? Double-click "My Computer". Right-click your hard drive and choose Properties. Select the Tools tab and check the "Check Now" button at the top. Check the "Automatically fix file system errors" box and click Start. If you get another pop-up asking if you want to perform the check the next time Windows starts, click Yes. Reboot. SignatureBrian Tillman I also have this problem. Same Outlook version. I have completed the inbox repair and also used original software to scan and repair and later even reinstalled MS Office to no avail. My contacts are inaccessible. Syncing my BlackBerry turned into a nightmare when the BB couldn't read the address book it started deleting all my contacts. I also went to MS and downloaded current updates / patches. Still no luck. HELP. > Hi > I have this same problem, and where do I run a repair for my inbox? Also, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > > > > > PST Old thread. You also have what problem? CRE?
