corrupt pst file

I have a .pst file that seems to be corrupt. I have tried
to use the pstscan.exe but will not correct the problem.
Is there any other solutions I could try? The size of this
file is 1.9gig. (obviously need to do some archiving)

Thanks in advance

You didn not indicate what version of office you are using so I will asume
its xp for this example
you need to crop the pst file to a smaller size

then run scanpst.exe after choppint the size of the pst down a tad

To repair a .pst file corrupted due to 2 GB size limit, use Outlook Mail Recovery (.pst) an advanced pst repair software, which repairs and creates a healthy .pst file which can be imported back to Microsoft Outlook.

This tool does a much more than what a Microsoft Inbox repair tool (i.e. “Scanpst.exe”) can do. This software has the most advanced algorithms ever designed to recover data from Microsoft Outlook emails archive file (.pst).
