Outlook 2002 locks up

[Guest]

I currently have Office XP Pro loaded on my computer. I just got a new
computer and put Office XP Pro on it. I was running Office on windows 98
SE. When I got the new computer I loaded my pst file on the new computer.
It worked well. Then my wife needed the MS word settings and dictionaries
for her work. I used the transfer option in 98 SE. When I loaded it onto
the new computer it messed up Outlook. When I set Outlook to send and
receive automatically it locks up and I have to restart. I turned off my
Mcafee virus scan and it still locks up. I deleted and reinstalled Outlook 2
times. I am about ready to blow the hard drive and start over. Any
suggestions?
