Outlook 2000 icon when Outlook 2003 is used.

[Guest]

Recently, I upgraded from Outlook 2000 to 2003.
Then I imported my 2000 archive.pst file into Outlook 2003.
The result is that I now have the Outlook 2000 icon (in excess) on the
righthand side of my screen, next to the date.
How can I get rid of this superfluous icon?

Thanks for your help.

It's not superfluous. It's the notification to you that Outlook is running.
RIght-click it once and look at the options it supports.

Yes that icon is working, it opens Outlook 2003.
But why is the design of that icon like I had in Outlook 2000 and not the
(new) design of Outlook 2003?
It may be a minor point, but it is important for me to be sure that not any
parts of the old Outlook 2000 are any longer active (which I believe it is).

That particular icon is the one MS chose for the system tray. It's the
correct one.

Your belief is misguided. If there were parts of OL 2000 left OL 2003 would
not work correctly.

And still, I do have a problem with OL 2003.
Since I retrieved the OL 200O .pst file into OL 2003, I can't back up any
more.
My hardrive starts to "crunch" 3 times repeatedly for about 30 seconds and
then I get an error message, saying among others that I have a CRC fault.
Following earlier advice I have run chkdsk c: /f and chkdsk f: /f without
seeing an error. (The F: contians my .pst backup's)
I get the same crunching every time I open OL 2003 each morning.
Thus I expected that I had interference from my old OL 2000.
Have looked at Microsoft FAQ's but could not find anything describing my
problem, except that the .pst format has changed. However OL 2003 happily
accepted the OL 2000 .pst file.
Have you any advice how to get rid of the CRC error, without deleting all
old mails messages?

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

What do you mean by "retrieved into"? Do you mean you imported it? What
tool are you using to back up?

Off-hand, I don't see how importing a PST from an earlier Outlook into
Outlook 2003 can procude CRC error to continually recur. However, if I were
in your shoes, I'd rebuild my PSTs from scratch. First I'd create a new one
(File>New>Outlook Data File), make it my default location, copy everything
from my old default folders to it, and close the old PST. I'd then open
(FIle>Open>Outlook Data File - never import a PST) the Outlook 2000 PST,
drag-and-drop data from it to the new current PST, and finally close that
PST as well. The laswt step would be to stop and restart Outlook and delete
with WIndows Explorer the PSTs I'd abandoned.
