What is 2GB problem?

Home >> What is 2GB problem?

Microsoft Outlook 2002 and its earlier versions, which include Outlook 2000, 98 and 97, have 2 GB size limit problem with PST (Personal Storage) file. If the PST file reaches or exceeds this size limit, the file can not be opened and stored data can not be accessed. There are strong chances of PST file corruption when it exceeds the size limit. This issue is known as PST 2 GB problem or oversized PST problem.


Microsoft Outlook doesn’t include any tool to resolve 2 GB problem with PST file. To handle such case, you are recommended to opt for Stellar Phoenix Outlook PST Repair tool that splits a large sized PST file into several individual PST files. If the file is damaged due to exceeded size limit, this split PST tool allows you to easily repair PST file.


However, Microsoft provides an external utility, called PST2gb to work around such issues. But in the majority of situations, this utility may fail to sort out the 2 GB problem and the file remains inaccessible and unusable. Even if the restoration completes successfully, some important data may get truncated and lost forever.


Microsoft also released several service packs so that when 2 GB problem occurs with PST file, Outlook does not allow you to add new data to it. This method helps you to prevent PST from being oversized in some cases. But when this issue occurs, you can hardly do anything unless you delete some data from the file and compact it.


In all such cases, Outlook repair software come for your rescue.
