pst file corrupt, not using Exchange 1

[andyoye]

I am NOT using Exchange, I got this error
\....\outlook.pst is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.
Does it has anything to do with the file size? Currently its 1.4 GB

Can/should I use "Advanced Open File Option" to backup my email contents?? If YES, then which of the four options should i go with??
**rememeber i am NOT using exchange. Just backing up my emails ( outlook )

Old versions of Outlook support PSTs up to 2GB, so you're not over the limit yet. Having said that, the bigger a PST file gets, the more chance you have of it becoming corrupt - it's not the most reliable internal file structures in the world.

Do you have a scanpst.exe anywhere? This will try and repair your PST - I'd take a copy first.

How about using Advance OFO option? I think the problem is, at the time to backup, somewhere on the network, Outlook remain open.
