I have posted 5 that have eventually worked for most users. Try them all.

Create a new Outlook 2007 data file also couldn't solve the problem.
Because I also have same problems as Marko and I also done as Marko did. I
have monitor the Outlook 2007 closed properly with Task Manager, after
restart Outlook, it pop me with the same error message.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Chik

Yeah. That's why I asked you first thing how you migrated your Outlook
data.

Thanks, I only wish I would have known that. The problem has come back,
so I'll try that next.
Thanks for your help.

You did an upgrade installation. You must always create a new profile
from scratch when you do an in place upgrade. Outlook will not work
properly until you do.

I think I've got it figured out.
I ran Outlook.exe with the /safe command line switch.
It runs without a hitch. In my case it ask me if I wanted ther RSS
feed sync. I don't even know what that is and so said no.
It's been running without the file data delay and message since. There
is obviously a problem with Outlook 07 that needs fixing.
Anyway, thanks for all the help here.

I read that "Microsoft's Live One Care" is causing this problem in
Outlook 07 when installed under Vista.
In my case it's installed under Win XP home SP-2 and I don't think
that I have Live One Care.

1)When I installed Office 2007 it automatically used the existing
pst from Office 2003 (If I remember correctly) Therefore my
statement that 07 "took over" the existing file. In any case it's
the same file that I had used in 03. If not done automatically then
I must have used the IMPORT option from the File menu.
2) Checking in Office 07 help for "indexing" I'm given these
instructions: "On the Tools menu, point to Instant Search, and then
click Indexing Status." Indexing Status does not exist in that
location.
Searching further I find instructions for finding "Indexing Status"
in the Control Panel options. It does not exist there either.

"Recently taken over by Outlook 2007" seems an odd statement. What
does it mean? So does your claim that you clicked an option that
you then claim does not exist. We await clarification.

The file was imported a year ago from Outlook Express into Outlook
2003 and recently taken over by Outlook 2007.
No problems ever in Outlook 03.
For indexing I find the following:
On the Tools menu, point to Instant Search, and then click
Indexing Status.<
"Indexing Status" does NOT exist. It doesn't exist in the Control
Panel under Other Control Panel Options either.
Looks like I need to dig deeper into that area.

Also, verify that Outlook has finished indexing this file.

Thanks! I had done the repair with scanpst.exe. Subsequent scans
came up error free. The problem is still there.
Exit completely? I shut down Outlook and the next time I start
it up again I get that same message and delay.
I had just installed Office 2007 on a newly formatted Hdd and
have no add-ins that I'm aware of.
Outlook 2003 worked fine before.

I've seen two fixes. Repair your PST file manually. Make sure
you exit Outlook completely and that you have no add-ins that
will keep it from exiting completely.

Starting Outlook 2007, I get a message:

"A datafile did not close properly last time it was used and
is being checked for problems".

It takes a minute for Oulook to start and then the system is
slow for a few more minutes while that file is still being
checked and then a message pops up telling me that the file
check is complete.
Doing a Google on the problem it would appear that it's
prevalent but I don't see a fix for it.
Is there anything I can do other then going back to Office
2003?
