Help with corrupted PST file

Hi,

my neighbour uses Windows Vista with Outlook 2007 and has a problem with his .PST file becoming corrupt so that he can't access his contacts. Since I use Mozilla Firefox and have little knowledge of Outlook I'm trying to find out what we need to do to repair the files - he will loose 7 years worth of contacts otherwise. Please advise!

Thanks.
