Lost message details in Outlook XP

[Guest]

I had Outlook XP, then installed the 2007 Beta. Kept the xp, 2002 PST file
association option. Recently upgraded my machine and reinstalled Office XP.
I would like to install the 2007 Beta but I think I lost the download file -
but that's a different story.
Now in Outlook all of my old messages contain just the header. File sizes
are the same but in any view, all I can see is the Title/Header and none of
the content.
New incoming e-mail is fine but all my older e-mails, folders, etc are all
blank.

What happened and how can I fix it?!
