Running PSTCompress™ with Outlook 2000™

  • PSTCompress can be installed on a machine with Outlook 2000 and will run with the following limitations.
  • You may need the Outlook 2000 or Office 2000 installation CD in order to successfully reconfigure Outlook as detailed below.
  • You must configure Outlook's Email Service Options to be Corporate or Workgroup to force the correct files to be installed.  If Outlook is configured as Internet Only, then it can be reconfigured by selecting Tools/Options from the menu bar and then selecting the Mail Delivery tab.

  • You may only process PST files created with Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002 (XP).  Outlook 2003 files may be processed if they are not Unicode.

Running PSTCompress™ with non-English versions of Microsoft Office™

  • The user language setting for a user running PSTCompress must match the language setting for Microsoft Office.  This will normally be the case without any addition action.  An example of where a problem will occur would be when a French version of Microsoft Office is installed on an English version of Microsoft Windows XP.
  • The symptom of this problem will be the Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders dialog will be displayed during the compaction step, instead of the Compact Now dialog and will appear to hang.
  • To correct this problem do the following:
  • Windows 2000
    • Go to the Control Panel and select Regional Options
    • Set Your Locale (Language) to the language used by the Microsoft Office user interface. For example: if the Microsoft Office user interface is displayed in Dutch, set the Locale to Dutch (Netherlands)
  • Windows XP & Windows 2003
    • Go to the Control Panel and select Regional and Language Options
    • Set the Standards and Fomats language to the language used by the Microsoft Office user interface. For example: if the Microsoft Office user interface is displayed in Dutch, set the Locale to Dutch (Netherlands)
