Guest Caymanboy Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Is there a dianostics task for either wondows xp or Outlook 2003? My computer has a glitch and the hour glass is constantly flickering, locks up when outlook is opened,
Guest R. McCarty Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Windows xp dianostics or Outlook 2003 dianostics In most Office versions there is a Mailbox repair tool, ScanPST.Exe. It doesn't have a shortcut and must be located in the \Program Files\ Office path. It runs a multi-pass check on the .Pst and will recommend fixes if issues are found. ( Be sure to check the backup creation ). Recent Office versions have a "Detect & Repair" feature in the Help. Of course this won't help you if Outlook will not open/run. You should make sure your Office instance is fully updated with all the hotfixes and Service Packs. Update.Microsoft.Com will check & offer any Office updates your setup doesn't have.
