This is about the closest I can come up with.

I would doubt that we found your issue. I'm about out of moves. The only other thing I could think of is if you have multiple user profiles for that PC. With multiple profiles a unique piece of the registry is merged with the main registry whenever someone logs on. It is possible that it got corrupted somehow. Again...this is all only possible if you have multiple profiles....otherwise....I think an OS reinstall is called for.

Ludatic, did you try any other file fixing tools besides the Office repair tool? There are a few on the msft website...I haven't had time to look for you, but I know they are out there.

If it's not a corrupt .pst file, it would then be a dll or other Outlook file, I still don't think it's OS related...but saving your .pst files and wiping the whole deal out might be the easiest way to go. At some point, you have to stop with the toubleshooting and just get rid of the whole deal. An unfortunate deal, but it's sometimes easier than pulling your hair out.

But it would seem that with an Office re-install would have fixed it...even though it leaves the .pst file in tact. However, it still bugs me that the Eudora conversion did what it did. There should have been emails/contacts etc. in that JET db.

Still thinking for ya, bro...

Look for a file called scanpst.exe.
It's the inbox repair tool, if indeed it is a corrupt .pst (and it sounds like it is), this is your best bet.
On Windows 2000, it's located in:
C:Program FilesCommon FilesSystemMapi1033NT

Run it, it'll prompt you for your .pst file, enter it, click start and it'll attempt to fix it.

Dude, sorry, I just use the NYSE ticker symbol for the word Microsoft. Check out the tool that tool that PeaceLove&S2K mentioned, but I know www.microsoft.com has some other tools.

Sorry for the confusion, I was just abbreviating...

Yeah, I never bothered with XP myself.
I just don't feel I should need to ask Microsoft for permission to add new hardware to my system.
