I've got a laptop running XP Pro & Office XP. My pst file is about 1.3 GB.
Lately, Outlook crashes alot. I have renamed/deleted the outcmd file, tried
opening using outlook /cleanview (said it wasn't a valid command?), removed
outlook & re-installed, although my pst file was still there & outlook
picked up on it like I never uninstalled it in the first place. Today I
created a new pst, copied everything to it & deleted the old one & about an
hour later, back to crashing again!
What else can I try or do?

I think the command line switch you were looking for was /cleanviews
Try that one just to be sure.
Also, what happens if you run with an empty new PST for a while. Do the
crashes occur?

I thought I had tried both cleanview & cleanviews.
Should that work on all versions of Outlook?
As far as the empty pst, just lave it open & running with it?
The crashes usually occur when working...

It definitely works on later versions.
Leave it open with the empty one to start with then copy your old data in
and see if it still fails.
