I "used to " synchronize my laptop and desktop by simply
copying the the outlook.pst file from one computer to the
other since my laptop was primary. However I bought
another laptop that had 2002 Outlook installed and I
copied my Outlook 2000 pst file to the Outlook 2002
version. I now have problems with downloading mail and
other minor weird things happening. Is it because I
goofed and copied over the 2002 pst file? Unfortunately
I don't have a copy of 2002 to reload as the used
computer came with no discs but will purchase if that's
the source of the problem.

Regards, George
 
You mean you tried to overwrite a PST file? Overwriting a PST file is just
asking for trouble. It will corrupt your profile every time.
Create a new profile and set it to use the PST file you want Outlook to use.
