Microsoft Outlook is Microsoft’s Personal Information Manager (PIM) application. Having started as a part of MS Office 97, the MS Outlook has evolved several times to adapt to the growing needs of the organizations that have adopted it as a premium business and personal e-mail management tool. MS Outlook 2007 has been among the most popular among them that is definitely safer than the earlier versions and provides you with a comprehensive time and information manager. While Office Outlook 2007 makes it easier for you to prioritize and control your time, there have been quite a few instances of the PST files not working when the older version of Outlook was upgraded to 2007 and PST repair software had to be used.

It has been found that while upgrading to Outlook 2007, you may receive some Outlook file corruption (also known as PST) errors. In such a scenario, you would need to restore it from your most recent PST backup. But sometimes, the PST backup itself may be damaged, not updated or even absent. In such situations, you should scan your damaged PST file using commercial PST repair applications.

Let’s take a practical scenario. You upgrade to Outlook 2007 from an earlier Outlook version (for example, Outlook 2003). Once you do that and try opening the Microsoft Outlook, it fails and flashes the following error message:

“Borland database engine not installed. Can't load Corel address book service provider”

To your utter dismay, the Microsoft Outlook crashes after this error message. You may receive this error even if you are not using the mentioned service. The situation becomes quite frustrating.

It is also possible that Outlook pst is visible but it remains unusable as it won’t open. Also, when you upgrade your Outlook 2003 to 2007, there are some compatibility problems and it is possible that your existing PST files doesn't work.

 

Resolution:

  • Install Borland Database. That should solve the problem.

  • If that doesn't help, create a new Outlook profile. If this step fails to solve the problem move to the next step.

  • Try upgrading Coral to the latest version

  • If all the above steps fail, then the only advisable solution is to use a commercial third-party PST Repair tool.
