Getting “out of memory error” with a 5.1 GB archive PST file?

I have a 5.1GB archive PST file, outlook 2007. From some time before I am receiving “out of memory” error when I try opening outlook. However closing archive.pst file solves the problem temporarily. From reading about PST I came to know about problems taking place in large size PST. I ran scanpst.exe which found 24 errors, all of which were repaired thereon. Then I compacted PST with “compact now” option in outlook, but the errors still remains. Is there anything that I can do to resolve the problem and access archive PST, which contains lots of important information?

Out of memory error is displayed at times the size of PST file crosses the built in size limitation. You immediately need to split pst outlook archive, accessing it at such a stage can cause complex damages and the PST files completely unusable. Compact now is not able to clear resolve the problem because the reduction made by it in file size is very less. And yes, it is definitely known that how precious data is there in the outlook data file, so to ensure its safety using efficient splitting application is must and not manually copying data to other files. Moreover, because doing so may cause data loss.
