When I try to open any folder in Outlook, I get this error message:

- unable to display folder.

I can't access calendar, contacts, etc.

I tried looking for the Inbox Repair Tool, but it doesn't show up in a
search of the help file.
I also tried reinstalling Office 2000 - DNF.

I am running Outlook from Office 2000 on a PC, using Windows XP.

Any ideas?

Have you tried a new mail profile?

Thanks for the response. I tried a new mail profile - DNF.

When I try to open a Personal Folder, I get this error message: "Unable to
expand the folder. Errors have been detected in the file....personal
folders (pst). Quit all mail enabled applications and use the in box repair
tool.'

I have not been able to locate the in box repair tool. I tried Detect and
Repair again - DNF.

Search for scanpst.exe and enable searching hidden/system folders.
