Hello,

My PC was having some issues, Outlook was crashing, I think i may have found
my key to solving it. I did a SCANPST.EXE on my PST file and it found many
errors. I repaired them and seemingly it now works. Although once in a great
while it will crash again (NOT AS OFTEN AS BEFORE) and then i scan it and i
am good to go.
