Do you have local administrative rights of that computer?Dear Kerry,
Please check the Antivirus Setting of your PC. If it is repeating the same error then try to Recover your PST file using Inbox Repair Tools (Scanpst.exe) and if the Error doesn’t resolve then you can use a 3rd Party software i.e. SysTools Outlook Recovery to fix the PST file.Dear Kerry,
If the above method didn’t work then you can Choose a 3rd Party Tool i.e. SysTools vCard Importer because vCard Importer provides you three options:
1. Save in existing MS Outlook PST file
2. Save directly into MS Outlook profile
3. Create new MS Outlook PST file
