Im trying to run the repair tool, but I can't find the outlook file that
needs to be scanned. I have already run and search on *.pst and *.ost and
come up with nothing.

Is the file hidden some where?
 
They are stored in a hidden folder under \documents and settngs\<userid>.
Make sure you turn on hidden/system files in Windows Explorer and if using
Windows XP, make sure you configure the search to look in/for hidden/system
files as well.

Click to expand...

Yes. The usual location for those files is the hidden folder
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Use
Control Panel's Folder Options to enable viewing hidden files and folders.
