I have exactly the same problem as in the thread. The suggestion to access a
fixer for .pst and .ost files points to a fix for Outlook 2002, whereas I
believe Outlook 2007 is what this thread is about. In any event I am using
Outlook@2007 (12.0 6300 5000) SP1 MSO 12.0 6213.1000
and have all updates installed for Vista as of the date of this posting.
The files referred to by this link do not seem to appear in an explorer
listing for this Vista/Outlook installation.
Where is the 'fix' programs for Outlook 2007 stored? I see only one lonely
..DLL at this location.
