Outlook Contacts problems

May 6, 2005 12:29AM PDT

I run XP Home edition, and Office XP. I connect to my email through Outlook (not Outlook Express).

Some weeks ago I got an error message when coming out of standby and was prompted to run the inbox repair tool. I did, but now I cannot add new contacts. In addition, I seem to have multiple copies of contacts in the folder list. When I try I get a message that says "Errors have been detected in the file C:\Windows\outlook.pst. Quit all email-enabled applications and run Inbox Repair tool."

Doing that doesn't help. Can anyone coach me through solving/resolving this issue?
