Unable to Display Folder

[Paul]

I get the following error when I try to open Outlook.

"Unable to display the folder. Errors have been detected
in the file C:\Documents and Settings\Daddy\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mailbox.pst.
Quit Outlook and all mail-enabled applications, and then
use the Inobox repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and
repair errors in this file. For more information about
the Inbox repair tool, see Help."

I first got this problem in Outlook 2002, and recently
upgraded to 2003 hoping this would be resolved, and it
wasn't. I'm using Windows XP, and have of course already
ran the scanpst.exe to no avail.

If anyone out there can help point me in the right
direction, I would really be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Run Checkdisk against the C-drive first and then try scanpst.exe again.
Also; What is the size of the pst-file?

Your pst-file;

Make sure you include hidden and system files and folders when searching for
pst-file.

By default it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

You can also locate the file by using
Rightclick the root folder (probably Outlook Today)-> Properties-> button
Advanced-> field Filename
