Intermittent inavailability of PST file shuts down Outlook

[Lars Edlo]

My Outlook (2007 operating on Vista Business) has started to cause problems
after months of proper function: Suddenly I am unable to operate it and I
only get the message on a blank OL screen: Outlook cannot open (f i)
calendar/ contacts or mail page as it cannot find the pst file. This happens
suddenly after hours of proper function. It does not help to restart OL, I
need to restart my entire laptop. Since one week back this happens repeatedly
several times a day.
A hint what to do, someone?

Where is your pst-file located?

And how big is it? What format? 97-2002 or Personal Folders?

It is located in:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
size is 1,62 GB, format Personal Folders.

IF the reason would be the size (which I believe should not be a ´problem in
Vista/OL 2007), what do I do to reduce it?
Thanx
