Greetings to all techyv people, I am posting here an issue about Microsoft Office Outlook, I have a hard  time in running Microsoft Office Outlook I always meet an error that said could not start the program,

Please refer below to see all the text of the error.

Microsoft Office Outlook

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook

Window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Errors have been detected in the file

C:UsersNameAppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlookOutlook.pst. Quit

Outlook and all mail-enabled applications, and the  use the inbox

Repair tool (Scrampst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file.

For more information about the inbox repair tool, see Help.

The error message I meet is always recurring every time I run Microsoft Office Outlook, I've been re installing the application for many times already, but same error keeps on flashing my screen,

I already run out of patience, so for those who have encountered the same error I have,

Please share your ideas on how you deal with this problem,

MS Office Outlook cannot open, Errors in the file

Good Day!

I have also encountered problems upon opening Microsoft  Office Outlook just like what you've been experiencing right now.

I keep on uninstalling and installing Microsoft Office Outlook on my computer but the errors are still there.

What I did was, I  copied my necessary files to a removable device and reformatted my computer for I came to know that my computer lacks some on programs (drivers) that could support in opening Microsoft Office Outlook then I installed Windows 7 to my computer and it runs successfully.

Thank you, and I hope it will work in your case.

Yes, formatting your hard drive and installing Windows again will really work and fix your problem with Microsoft Office Outlook. But this procedure will require you to install again all the programs that were previously installed on your machine. You can do this for a sure fix.

Or, you can uninstall Microsoft Office Outlook again then check your computer for any possible errors. Use a disk utility application to check the system.

Doing this on your system will verify the integrity of your file system and lets you fix if ever a problem or problems were detected. After checking the hard drive, install Microsoft Office Outlook again.

This will install a fresh copy of the application that contains no errors.
