I've recently begun to experience a problems when opening Outlook 2003. I
get an error message to say thea the file C:\......\local
settings\applications\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst file cannot be found. I
check the folder and there is nothing in the folder. I restore the files
from backup and it works for a few days and then it disappears again with not
apparent reason.

I also find that occasionally my desktop background picture does not appear
and that usually occurs when the pst file disappears. I can go into destop
propertys and background and it comes back.

I running Windows XP Pro SP3 with Zonealarm security suite and I have run
deep scans to see if it is a virus problem. I've recreated my profile, I've
run a repair on the pst file (which is about 700mb) and I ran repair on
Office 2003. But the problem persist.

Can anyone offer any advice on what is causing the file to be deleted (it
doesn't appear in the recycle bin).?
 
Hi Woodentop,

I have the very same issue. The only difference in my set up is the use of
Office 2007 and AVG free Antivirus.

I posted a little bit everywhere, including Experts'Exchange, but nobody
know what is going on.

Did you manage to find a solution?
Thanks
