Hi All! I guess it's not a secret that my hard drive has been driving me crazy lately.... Well, now I've received damage to my OE5.5 files; and, I don't know how to fix them! When I try to read them; most are freezing my computer as soon as I open them - ctrl+alt+del just produces a blue screen (not a task box). When I try to download new mail I get the following error message: ========================== An Outlook Express store file may be damaged. Please use a utility such as ScanDisk to verify and repair any damaged files. Account: 'mailandnews.com', Server: 'mailandnews.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C0155 ========================== The only problem is - I can not run ScanDisk nor Defrag because of the damage on this hard drive - they both fail almost immediately (ScanDisk fails at 9% everytime - while reading the FAT...). Are there any Freeware/Shareware programs I can download to try to fix this? Does OE have anything remotely equivalent to Outlook's "ScanPST"? Thanks in advance for any/all help you can toss my way! Lisa ps: I haven't decided whether to switch back over to Outlook 2000 or not... (because of the computer problems getting so bad) - so, for today I will be checking my email via the 'Net.... If you have any specific advise for me; would you please consider using either of the following two email addys so I will be sure to see them... Thanks!
