Outlook Outlook *.pst problem

[Runarsson]

I'm trying to compress my PST file, but Outlook (2002) doesn't want to work with me. I am at the last step and click 'compress'. The message box comes up as usual, saying 'Compressing...'... but disappears 1-2 seconds later. No error message or anything. Just gives up (if it even started). The file is 870Mb, so even though it's not so small, it shouldn't be too big either (from what I have gathered).

Anyone have seen the same... Outlook takes a short peek and decides not to?

Grateful for suggestions what could be wrong.

Try running a repair install on outlook and then try compress again..from what I can remember "please don't quote" 2002 .pst file can be upto 2 gig, so you're half way there..
