PST Recovery Tool for Microsoft Outook

The desktop ActiveSync is an application that allows you to synchronize Microsoft Outlook data stored on desktop PC with a mobile device, such as PDAs and Smartphones installed with Windows Mobile or Windows CE. Outlook on desktop PC stores its emails, notes, calendars etc. in a file called PST (Personal Storage Folder). For several reasons, you may sometimes observe a Windows Mobile based device failing to synchronize with Outlook PST. One of the primary reasons among them is corruption in PST itself, for which PST Recovery is required.

To elaborate such problems, consider a practical situation when you try to synchronize a Windows Mobile based device with a PC for Outlook items. The synchronization might fail with an error message as below:

“Active sync encountered a problem on the desktop

Support Code 86000107.”

The similar behavior is observed each time when you try to synchronize.

Cause

The above issue can occur because of reasons as below:

• Windows Mobile device has some issues

• Partnership with the PC is corrupted

• Few of the items being synchronized are corrupt

• Outlook PST is corrupted

Solution

To solve the discussed issue, you are suggested to follow these workarounds:

• You can deselect all the items being tried to synchronize within ActiveSync, disconnect the Windows based device, and then resync with ‘empty list’.

• In case of corrupted partnership issue, you should disconnect the device and then delete the partnership. You can then recreate it after reconnecting the device.

• You can find out the problematic items by enabling synchronization one item at a time. To solve the issue, you can exclude the troubled items.

• In case of PST file corruption, run Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe) to repair it. Make sure you enable the view of hidden files and backup your PST prior running the program.

Microsoft Outlook is made up of a number of application files that include library and DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files. On such file is Outllib.dll. It is a significant component of Microsoft Outlook and is managed by the Windows Registry. When this file goes missing or gets damaged, Outlook may not start and you can not access data from your PST file. This behavior cause critical data loss situations and you need PST Recovery to sort out the problem.

When this file gets damaged or does now function properly, you might come across the below error message:

“OUTLOOK caused an invalid page fault in module OUTLLIB.DLL at <memory address>”

When you see the application log of Microsoft Outlook, you might find the following entries in it:

“Faulting application outlook.exe, version 11.0.6353.0, stamp 408f2937,
faulting module outllib.dll,
version 11.0.6359.0, stamp 40c8adfd,
debug? 0, fault address 0×00074db7.”

After this error message, Microsoft Outlook does not open and you can not access data from it. This behavior may lead to PST file corruption and eventually cause data loss. At this point, you need to find out the cause of this issue and carry out Outlook PST Recovery by sorting it out.

Root of the issue

As stated in above error message and the Event Log, this problem occurs due to corruption to either Outllib.dll or Outlook.exe file. Corruption might occur because of virus infection, application malfunction, improper system shut down and other such reasons.

Solution

There is a number of techniques or methods that you could use as troubleshooting methods to fix this issue. These procedures are as discussed below:

1. If your MS Outlook application is installed in IMO (Internet Mail Only) mode, then Outlook would not function properly until you have complete and proper installation of Microsoft Outlook Express. Thus, you need to ensure that your MS Outlook Express is working appropriately.

2. Incompatible or Invalid extension information could also cause such situations. Thus, you should try replacing the Extend.dat file. If you manage to start Outlook properly, uncheck the suspected add-ins.

3. Try restarting Microsoft Outlook in Safe Mode.

4. Create new Outlook profile and PST file. If you are using Outlook in IMO mode, then you will have to created IMO profile.

5. Reinstall Microsoft Outlook or complete MS Office Suite. Here you should remove application and rename Outllib.dll file and reinstall MS Outlook.

After you carry out above solutions, you would find out that the related error messages has stopped occurring, but at the same time you may also discover that the PST file has got damaged and it become completely unusable. The issue may occur during reinstallation of MS Outlook or the damaged file affect Outlook library files.

Corruption to the PST file needs Recover PST to be handled. This is best possible using third party applications, known as PST Recovery Software. The applications use advanced and powerful scanning mechanisms to carry out thorough scan of the damaged PST file and retrieve all of the damaged or inaccessible data from it.

The PST Archiving feature allows you to divide your email messages between two or more PSTs, each manageable and accessible through Outlook. An archive PST is prone to similar reasons, due to which a default PST can get corrupt. To repair the damaged archive PST, you should use the Outlook built-in Inbox Repair Tool. If this fails, you should opt restoring from a good backup or using a PST Recovery application.

For instance, consider a practical situation, described below:

1. You archive the Outlook PST file and store the resultant file on a network drive

2. You transfer the archive.pst on your computer

3. When you try to open this archive.pst file in MS Outlook as File | Open | Outlook Data File , it fails to open and displays the following error message:

“The file drive_letter:\archive.pst is not a personal folders file.”

Cause

The above behavior indicates that Outlook is unable to read the archive.pst file because it is corrupt. The file doesn’t have valid personal storage folder structure.

Outlook PST is not supported over any network link. The PSTs are designed for local message store. The network links use network-access-driven methods, which is contrary to file-access-driven methods used by PST. When the network traffic is not apt, chances are that the file may catch errors. For this reason, an archive.pst can get corrupt if saved on a network drive.

Solution

4. Double-click to open the file and browse to the location of your damaged archive.pst

5. Click ‘Start’, which starts the recovery process

Though mainly used as an email client, Microsoft Outlook allows you to maintain calendar information and keep task reminders as well. Consequently, you can display reminder information at calendar’s top as an event or in the calendar itself. At times, you find certain issues with these Outlook items. As expected, Outlook task reminders and calendar fail to appear at scheduled time. One of the root causes responsible for this behavior is that your Personal Storage file contains damaged reminder items or the complete reminder folder is corrupted. PST corruption should be resolved by running Inbox Repair Tool or restoring from the backup. If none of the measures work, you should better scan your file by using PST Recovery applications.

For an instance, besides from unexpected and unscheduled behavior of Outlook calendar and task reminders, when you click ‘Save and Close’ button for new appointment that has a reminder, you come across an error message as below:

“The reminder for <subject> may not appear because the item is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK? <yes> <no>”

Cause

Microsoft Outlook processes and triggers reminders from a special-purposed folder known as Reminder Folder that is stored in either personal folder or Inbox of mailbox . The folder is kind of search folder containing links to those messages which meet certain criteria. For reminders to trigger, it is required that Outlook must be running and reminders should reside at the location where you receive all your emails. Outlook exhibits the above discussed behavior in any of the following conditions:

• The calendar and task reminders your specified are not in primary folders, as expected by the application. Primary folder is the one that resides at your mail delivery point. As an illustration, while setting up your email service, you designated PST Inbox as the location where you should receive your emails. But when you created a reminder, you stored it in some other folder instead of PST Calendar. In similar conditions, when you haven’t specified your reminders in primary folder, Outlook will fail to display at the scheduled time.

• Outlook doesn’t maintain separate file for handling reminders as other applications do. So if Outlook is not running, reminders will fail to display and trigger.

• For Outlook reminders to be processed by the application, it is must that you have specified a location where your emails could be delivered by default. The above error could occur if while setting up your email service, you haven’t specified the ‘Delivery’ option to any valid value but to ‘none’.

• Outlook is trying to access reminders from a corrupted reminders folder. It might also occur due to some corrupt entries in the folders. If PST is your mail delivery location, such errors could result due to corruption of the file.

Solution

Below are the methods that you should apply to solve these problems. In case when the reminders or whole PST is damaged, you need to either delete the reminders or run Inbox Repair Tool if PST corruption is the issue. PST Recovery can also be achieved by using commercial applications if Inbox Repair Tool fails. You can apply these measures to correct the existing issue:

• Make sure that when you create reminders, you are saving them in the primary folder.

• Start Outlook if it is not running

• You can delete all the existing reminders by running /cleanreminders switch. To do so, you need to exit the application and click Start->Run and type outlook /cleanreminders.

• If this doesn’t help, you should try a different switch to reset all the folders as outlook /resetfolders

• Try running Inbox Repair Tool to correct PST file corruption problems.

• If a clean backup is available and Inbox Repair Tool doesn’t work, delete the damaged file and restore from backup

Cause

You might experience the above symptoms if any of the below conditions exists:

Microsoft Outlook uses few log files to store journal information. Offitems.log is the file that contains information about files that you created, opened, saved or closed while Outlook was not running. Outitems.log is responsible for holding information about Outlook items, such as email message, tasks, appointments, notes and others. These binary file are extremely important for Outlook automatic journaling feature. The above error might result if these (Offitems.log and Outitems.log) journal log files are damaged.

Windows includes a file called Msvcrt.dll that is responsible for providing few basic services to Visual C++ compiled applications, like Microsoft Office Outlook. The services provided are memory allocation, comparing strings etc. Outlook might prompt the above error if Msvcrt.dll file is damaged or exists in incorrect version.

Outlook Personal Folder (.pst file) is damaged. PST is the single file storing all email messages, notes, tasks, appointments, journals and other Outlook items. It might get corrupted due to unexpected shutdown, file size limitation (in Outlook 97-2002), application errors and other similar causes.

2.Verify the version of Msvcrt.dll file. If you find the file in incorrect version, you should replace the file from a suitable system.

3.Check if the media, on which the PST file is located, is connected to the system. If this is not so, you should try to access the file after connecting the media to the system.

4.You are recommended to install the latest Windows Service Pack available.

5.Perform PST Repair for the damaged personal folder. To do so, you should run Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) to fix the corruption issues. You need to locate the tool and specify the file path, which will repair the damaged file. However, you can try to workaround the file damage issues by creating a new PST file and importing all the folders and subfolders from the affected PST file. Before doing so, it is suggested that you backup the .pst file. After this, you can run outlook.exe /cleanpst and open Outlook that will provide you an option to create a new .pst file. You can then use Import and Export option of File menu to import all Outlook data from the damaged PST file. If this doesn’t help and also Inbox Repair Tool cannot repair the damaged file, you should use PST Recovery applications.

• You can try updating Outlook installation with the latest cumulative updates available

• Microsoft Outlook provides different command-line switches that allow you to start Outlook after cleaning few application settings. Based on the specific problem in existence, you can use these switches to troubleshoot.

If this is the case, you can disable, remove or rename the item, as per the case.

• To check if the issue is Outlook profile specific, you can create a test profile containing no email accounts. Since it doesn’t have any email account, it will not send and receive any email messages. You can try adding the existing PST file to see if PST is not damaged. It will create a PIM profile. If it doesn’t crashes, you should continue working with this new profile.

• You can try to test the new Outlook profile with your email accounts as all the times, Outlook profile might not be the issue.

• If Outlook crashes after adding PST, the file might be damaged. Thus, you need to repair it using Inbox Repair Tool or alternatively by using commercial PST Repair tools.

• If Outlook crashes after trying a new profile, you should try creating and using a new Windows profile. If problem gets solved, you should keep continuing work with this new profile and delete the earlier one.

• If testing through new Windows profile doesn’t help, the issue could be machine-related. It could occur due to problems like faulty RAM, damaged files, wrong data in HKEY_Local_Machine hive, incompatible software or faulty Windows. So to check this behavior, you can perform steps like using Outlook on a different system, checking Office installation, performing Windows clean boot, replacing the corrupted RAM and other similar steps.
