I can't open my personal folders

[shaimaa]

Here's the message I recieve:
unable to expand the folder. The folder D:\... outlook.pst is in use and
could not be acessed. slose any application that maybe using this file, and
then try again.

I restarted my PC, made sure not a single operation is on. But I still get
this message. I tried to use the repair tool, but it shows no errors.

Please Help!!! I can't afford the loss of data.

Do you have a back up?

The problem is that what ?I have done is to move the store folder to another
driver so that it won't be the same folder in which the Windows is installed,
and I considered this is (backing up) my files
Is there any solution? or my data is lost for good???

No No its not lost, no doubt there is coruption in ur PSt file. So you would be needing PST Outlook recovery tool.
Kernel for Outlook is the best and fixes the above mentioned error.

Do you have any applications that scan your drives or index files for
searching that begin their work when you boot?

While your product may be good at what it does, it's certainly not the
be-all-and-end-all you want to make it by advertising it so frequently in
newsgroups that Microsoft states should not contain any but miniman
advertising. You have convinced me that even if it were the last product of
its kind, I'd rather lose my data than buy your product due to your constant
spam.

Hello Brian

The only application I found was the inbox repair tool.
it takes all day, and when I finally press "repair" it stops to respond; i
left it for an hour with no use.

This program - Kernel - is it bad?

That's not what I meant. By "scanning applications" I mean things like
antivirus or spyware scanners. By "indexing applications" I mean things like
Windows or Google Desktop Search.
