The pst itself crashes anything that tries to touch it. I've run Scanpst with no luck, it gives me an error 25 minutes after I start it saying I don't have proper permissions on the file. I'm currently seeing what I can do with a backup/restore/redirect. Thanks much for everyone's suggestions. -----Original Message----- From: David N.

This .pst file is approx. 584MB, not exceeding the 2GB limit... But, it's crashing everything that tries to get to it. When I open the mailbox, after approx. 7 minutes of cranking away at 100%CPU utilization, then I try to open this Personal Folders file, I get a message that I don't have permission to open it. What? I wonder if there's a way to get into this file? I've searched TechNet, Google, my archive of messages from this list. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.
