Error executing function during kriging

Question

I am attempting to execute the kriging function on a set of data. The function had worked before without any issues. Now every time I try to execute it I first get the error "ERROR: 010092: Invalid output extent". I correct (or believe I do) this issue and then I get the "ERROR 9999999: Error executing function".

So far I have tried migrating all of my files to a local drive (I was previously using a Dropbox folder, and the function originally worked there), changing my output extent several times, but nothing seems to work. My dataset is very small (13 data points!), and I am at a loss for solutions. Any ideas on what I can try next?

Please navigate to the folder where the shapefile is stored and zip all the files making up the shapefile and email it to me at slynch@esri.com

I suspect that you have a corrupt shapefile.

Thank you for responding! I am using ArcGIS 10.2.
I tried creating a new project and the issue persists. My data is in a shapefile. I just tried using IDW and the output extent error persists.

I have also tried creating a polygon for the extent I want the kriging to take place in, and when I use that ERROR 9999999 comes up. I'm a at a loss, more so because Kriging worked yesterday and I did not change the data/files at all, and can't explain why it doesn't work today!

- What version of ArcGIS are you using?

- Try creating a new project

- is the data in a shapefile or fgdb?

- what happens if you use IDW?
