inbox repair tool will not accept file name from error message

[schomburg]

when clicking the calendar in microsoft office outlook 2003, I got the error
message that it was unable to display the folder and that I should use the
scanpst.exe repair tool. I doubleclicked on scanpst.exe and was prompted for
the file name to scan. I entered it exactly as the error message indicated:
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook2.pst

I pressed start and got the message "the path you specified does not exist.
Type a valid path and file name."

How did this happen? I typed it exactly. Please help!

Why don't you click on the browse button and simply browse to the file?

Probably caused by the spaces. Try again, but put quotes around the string.
