I have an orphan ost file that I need to extract information from?

I am using outlook 2003. I have tried the ost2pst.exe however it does not seem to work (I get an internal error code right at the end).

Any ideas??
 
How big is the .ost and have you tried running the scanpst on the ost. You may want to make a backup before running the scanpst.

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.
 
The ost is about 130MB I have used the scanpst however when it repairs it, it is still in an ost format which I cannot access with outlook....
 
Does the internal error give you a code number? You have tried to open the .pst and it is blank right?
