Outlook 2000 freezes at startup

[balti]

My Outlook 2000 starts and then freezes when it goes to
display the inbox. I managed to get it to work by
switching to a new pst file, but I have 1200 messages in
my old inbox that I need, and when ever I select this
foledr (even though it is not in the 'active' pst) it
hangs. Trying to avoid the preview does not help.

Any ideas appreciated.

run the inbox repair tool on the problem pst - you may have to run it
several times
PS backing up data is a good idea, MS even provides a free addin
