Looks as if if it can't locate your archive folder.

Go to Start/Control Panel/Mail/Data Files and repair the link to your archive folder.

HTH :D

And you can't highlight it and get the 'Settings' button enabled?

This PST error is very common fault...
If you navigate to your Outlook directory and find a program called SCANPST.EXE (looks like a ripped envlope)... Once you open the application do a search on your local hard drive for *.pst and then navigate to it using scanpst and it will repair the file.

Hope this all makes sense... Sorry I cant give you any screen shots at the moment... I am at work! lol

Sounds like the file may be corrupt. Can you make a copy of it in windows explorer? Also, what size is it? I know there used to be a problem with Outlook pst files over 2Gb in size.

The fact that it's a 2yr old tread resurrected would be another clue.!!

Hii


The problem may be because the size of PST files is more than 2GB size or PST files have been corrupted.
