When opening Outlook I receive the following message, this occurred after I tried to email a photo out of a photo program: "A data file did not close properly the last time it was used and is being checked for problems. Performance miht be affected while the check is in progress" How do I fix this?

You will need to import the data from the PST file back into outlook . It should go into a personal folder
After this process you can then copy the files into your email inbox or leave them in a personal folder or create a personal folder on a server mapped drive and then import email data to this folder so it gets backed up hopefully on the server. If you bak up the server..

It means there is a corrupt email file somewhere that keeps wanting to tell you about it. I would first explore the folder and see if you can find the bad file. The other option is to back up what you want and delete the emails saved, then restore the ones you have backed up. If that doesn't work, I would consider reinstalling the problem email with Outlook.

This issue may occur if you deploy Outlook 2003 with the Microsoft Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard and specify a personal folder (.pst) file in the Windows Installer transform (MST file) by using the Default location for PST files path option. The problem occurs because you specify a file name instead of a folder path.

To resolve this issue for future installations of Office, use the Custom Installation Wizard to edit the MST file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the Change Office User Settings page (page 10 of 24), expand Microsoft Outlook 2003, expand Miscellaneous, and then click PST Settings.
2. In the right pane, double-click Default location for PST files, and then type the path that you want in the Default location for PST files box. For example, type %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\.
3. Click OK, and then follow the steps to complete the wizard. When you have corrected the MST file, deploy Office by using the correct MST file.

To resolve this issue for an existing installation of Outlook that is experiencing this problem, specify the .pst file by using the Mail icon in Control Panel.

Or If you are receiving and Err like
Error message when you start Outlook: "Unable to open the Outlook window," "No profile has been created," or "The list of Profiles cannot be loaded"Follow the step's below:This issue may occur on a computer that is running Windows XP if the Outlook.exe file was configured to open with the Windows program compatibility mode setting. When you set compatibility for Outlook to Windows 95 or to Windows 98/Windows Millennium Edition, Outlook displays this error message. This is because the location of the Outlook Profile information in the registry differs on a Windows XP-based computer.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Locate Outlook.exe.
   
   Outlook.exe is typically located in one of the following folders, depending on the version of Outlook that you are running:
   • Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
   • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
   • Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 11
   • Microsoft Outlook 2002 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10
   • Microsoft Outlook 2000 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 9
2. Right-click Outlook.exe, and then click Properties.
3. On the Compatibility tab, click to clear the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box.
4. Click OK.
5. Try to start Outlook. If you receive error message again, use Method 2.

Thanks Everyone.. I fixed it with ther help of a great person.. DONT BUY THE PROGRAMS THAT CLAIM TO FIX ... All I did was the following:
Rename the Folders.dbx file:

1. Click Start, point to Search, and then click Files or Folders.
2. In the File name etc type, type folders.dbx.
3. In the Look In box, click your primary hard disk (usually drive C), and then click Search.
4. Right-click the identified Folders.dbx file or files, and then click Rename.
5. Type folders.old, and then click OK.
6. Start Outlook Express. This creates a new Folders.dbx file automatically.

Just change .dbx to .old That is all that was required.. RENAME!!! Not buying programs that dont work...

When I opened it the folders were a little messy.. but that is fine when you consider I felt that I had lost the program and all Emails stored. Problem only occurred after a suggested compacting of emails by the program.

RegGenie DID NOT FIX
Errorwiz DID NOT FIX

Good luck and I hope it works for you..

Bill

you will find scanpst file in following location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12

Double click on that fine > Browse to
C:\Documents and Settings\Computer User name \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Make sure you close outloook when you run a scan

Have a look at this follow the instructions it should make it all better.

MailNavigator can cope with the task of restoring out-of-order dbx files when Outlook Express itself cannot read them and when a range of other programs are not capable of restoring the information contained in these files. These situations can happen because of viruses, computer breakdown, power interruptions and many other reasons, leading to errors in the file system.
If your computer crashed, first of all you should make sure you have backup copies of your dbx files as well as of all other important data. It's good if you make backup copies of your data on a regular basis. But, unfortunately, in our experience situations are often encountered where there is already nothing to restore.
The process of data recovery from dbx files includes two stages:

• Search and read the dbx files in MailNavigator.
  
• Export the restored messages back to Outlook Express.
  

If your Outlook Express program is properly installed and tuned, MailNavigator will automatically find the dbx files from the information in the systems register. In this case you can load the dbx files from the Information Retrieval page by double clicking on each of them. Or search for messages in these files using the search system.
If MailNavigator cannot automatically determine the location of the dbx files (for example if these files are on a CD), first you have to find them using search tools, and then load them into MailNavigator using the menu command:
File | Load External Mailbox...
Once you've read the messages, select the ones that should be exported back into Outlook Express. You can use various filters to select the messages. If you want to export all the messages browsable in the Navigator at once, use the menu command:

Message | Select All
Having selected the messages, export them using the menu command:

Message | Save as...
In the opened dialogue box, indicate the file and export path, and choose the file type: Eudora mailbox.
When the command is executed, there will be files in the export directory with extensions .toc and .mbx, and also a file descmap.pce. If there are attached files in the exported messages they will be saved in the subdirectory Attach.


Once the mailbox in Eudora format is created, open the program Outlook Express and use the menu command:
File | Import | Messages...

In the opened dialogue box, as the program from which the message is imported, select: Eudora Pro or Light:

In the next dialogue box indicate the directory in which you put the messages from MailNavigator at the export stage:

Further, if Outlook Express finds mailboxes in this directory, it will suggest you select one of them for import:

All that remains to do is to press the Finish button, and a folder containing the imported messages is created in Outlook Express. hope this helps
