- Close Outlook if it is open.
- Open up Computer or My Computer.
- Open the Local Disk (C:) drive by double-clicking on it.
- If the Program Files (x86) folder exists, open that folder. Otherwise, open the Program Files folder.
- Open the Microsoft Office folder.
- Open the highest numbered Office00 folder. In this example there are Office12 and Office14 folders, so the Office14 folder would be the appropriate folder.
Note: These are numbered this way due to different versions of Office. Office 2007 was known as Office12, and Office 2010 is Office14. - Locate and open the Scanpst file on the list.
- Click Browse and select the Outlook Data PST file to be repaired.
- Click Start to begin the repair process. If prompted to make a backup first, it is recommended to do so.
