Repairing PST Files In Outlook

PST files repair in Outlook

Outlook has always been useful with managing mails & messages, tasks & events being their personal information manager. Though the program has many issues with it, they can be dealt easily with some basic Outlook tech support.

While using the Outlook 2000 version, there arises an issue of storage and the PST files. PST files are limited to 2 GB storage space in the older versions, and when the limit is reached, Outlook will not function properly. This problem, however, may not apply to the latest versions, as they come with developed PST formats and a Unicode to tackle the issue. But for the older editions, Microsoft helps traditional users with a repair tool to fight this issue.

Go through the following steps to use the utility provided by Microsoft to resolve your problem.

• Start the computer & go to “C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\System\\Mapi\\1033\\” folder on your hard drive.
• Look for the “Scanpst.exe” file in the directory & open the PST file repair function.
• Go to the desktop on your computer, & open the “Start” menu. Type “%appdata%\\Microsoft\Outlook” in the search box and press Enter. Note the PST file, when directed to the location of the file on your computer.
• Open the Scanpst program, & select \”Browse\” option in the application window. Opt for the PST file as noted earlier.
• Select the “Start” button in Scanpst. The PST file scan may take some time, depending upon the size of the PST file.
• It is always better to build backup of your PST folder. Mark the checkbox to backup the file & save it to a desired location on the computer.

The Scanpstutility records all the details of actions performed while scanning & repairing Outlook as TXT file, with the same name as

You can avoid reaching the limit of storage by splitting the oversized PST files into smaller partitions. Also, you can scan the damaged PST files with genuine software to recover the data into new usable PST files. Visit Outlook tech support for any further issues with the PST files.

How to troubleshoot Microsoft Outlook

Here are the step-by-step directions to help you troubleshoot minor performance issues with your Microsoft Outlook program-

• Start by updating your version of Microsoft Outlook. To ensure that you are using the latest version, check the Microsoft website for any recent updates. Microsoft releases service pack updates on a regular basis that can be freely installed as well.
• Keeping a large number of files in a single folder will compromise Outlook’s performance. Therefore, it would be best to separate your archived mail items into different folders.

• Next, get rid of all unnecessary add-ins installed on your Outlook program. From the Tools menu, select the Trust Center to find the unwanted add-ins. Go through the list of add-in application and remove the ones that you do not use.
• While using MS Outlook, disable your antivirus software as certain antivirus programs tend to interfere with its operations.
• Evaluate any error messages that are displayed during the startup of Outlook. In case an error message appears, it means that Outlook was not able to shut down a file properly and you will have to resolve this error at Startup. To check the status of the issue, click on the gear icon.

Hope these instructions were helpful to you in successfully troubleshooting your Outlook issues. For the Outlook version that you are using, make sure that you check the required specifications.
