msOutlook 2000

after an automatic update on 9-16-04, my outlook program went haywire, I uninstalled & created a new personal folder BUT i still can't retreive a backed up copy of my pst folder in its entirerty. CONTACTS keepb bogging down & shuts the system down. The only error msg I get is "shut down and use inbox repair tool" i do that and NOTHING changes. H E L P !!

 

Hi - Welcome to TSG!!

Do you know the location of the pst file you are searching for?

I'm going to move your post to Business Applications.

 

Have you done a virus scan and spyware scan to verify that there is not something on your system causing these problems?
You may also want to try Eraser2k after uninstalling and see if it helps - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;239938
