Ok, so my computer (Windows XP Pro) crashed earlier. I restarted and found that my inbox wouldn't show up on Outlook. (All other folders will, not outlook).
It says that Outlook.pst has errors and I need to run scanpst.exe.
So I open that and I click browse, go to the folder that outlook told me to go to, and I have nothing to click on. In other words no .pst files.
I tried restarting, nothing. So I called Dell (Microsoft recommended me to). They have me do a system restore, nothing, and they have me start the computer in Safe Mode with Networking, nothing.
At this point the guy offers to transfer me to Microsoft, and after holding for a few minutes I'm hung up on joy. (Total time on phone 30 minutes).
So I'm throwing myself on your mercy. Please help me! I can read messages in my Unread Mail, but I don't seem to be able to receive any new mail (sent one through my Yahoo! account).
If I have to reinstall Outlook I'll do it, as I've copied every message I could into another folder, but I was really hoping that I'd be able to run this scanpst or something to allow me to keep them if at all possible.
This is my work account so I won't be able to try anything till Monday when I get back to work (getting ready to split now)
Thanks in advance.
