My Outlook is not working correctly. I get this error message: The file
C:\Documents and Settings\Local setting\Applicaiton
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst could not be accessed. Data error (cyclic
redundancy check).
What can I do to correct this problem? I'm using Outlook 2000 sp-3
(9.0.0.6627).
 
Have you run a disk check on your machine? I seem to remember you posting
this earlier but I may be mistaken
 
Outlook 2000 has a file size limit of 2gb for any .pst (outlook, archive,
etc.). Once that size limit is reached the file becomes corrupted and you
can't access it (never found a way to repair it). Use Windows explorer and
drill down to C:\Documents and Settings\Local setting\Applicaiton
Data\Microsoft\Outlook and check the file size. If you hit the wall you get
to start all over.

CRCs generally point to hardware problems with your disk drive. Use
SCANDISK or CHKDSK to see if there are any errors on the disk.
