Many Calendar Appointments every time I start Outlook

[news.microsoft.com]

I just reformatted my drive, installed windows and Office/outlook 2007 - - I
imported my old pst files (personal and archive)
Now, every time I start outlook, I get over a dozen notices of appointments
that I don't really have - they're old/finished appointments - I click
DISMISS ALL, every time, but the same ones keep coming back every day, even
though they're not on the calendar for that day.

Any ideas?

I tried ScanPST ; there were a few errors reported - - it wiped out
everybody in my address book and all my email messages
It backed up my files - but it created a .bak file - - How do I get this
..bak file back in as my main .pst file?

Likely not, since Outlook doesn't have an address book. Describe ALL of the
steps you took. What did you do after running SCANPST?

Since there were no messages left after scanpst, I just renamed the .bak
file to .pst and reimported all the old messages - I'm now back to having 20
or so really old appointments show up every time I start Outlook, just as if
they were all due right now (the time it opens)

Why did you import and not just open the old PST? Importing from a PST is
frequently problematic.
