Outlook 2007 SCANPST.exe issues

[Grant]

Hello,

It appears my Outlook.pst file was corrupted after a recent shutdown. I
tried using Outlook 2007's SCANPST on Windows XP Pro to correct the issue but
all I get is the following error:

"An error has occurred that caused the scan to be stopped. No changes have
been made to the scanned file."

Google didn't turn up anything useful... it would be great to salvage my data!

Many Thanks,

Grant

Is this your only .pst file or did you make a recent backup?

Unfortunately I haven't backed up since the end of March... It possible, I'd
like to try and rescue the last three months of email.
