    Thanks Kylie, I found them, but when I click on scanpst, it comes up with a box, asking, “enter the name of the file you want to scan”?? Gives a browse option, but I can’t progress from there. Can you help please?

    @Clyde – Both the scanpst.exe and scanost.exe programs are residing in the Office program folder.
    In my case for example they are in:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12

    @Jack – Quite true, I assume you are referring to the KB296088 article.
    Does not work in all cases though.

    there is a speical tool that can fix the 2GB size limit of the pst file.
    It can be found in the microsoft download center.
