Outlook 2003: Advance Find malfunction

[J and N]

For more than two weeks, we cannot use Advanced Find in Outlook 2003. We
have tried to repair Microsoft Office twice, but nothing changed. Does
anyone have a solution? We have no idea why this problem came up - possibly
recent updates to Office and/or Windows XP are the reason?

Today, March 18, there are more problems:

1. Our McAfee "Mark as Spam" button no longer works
2. Calendar and flagged items cannot be updated
3. We can neither send nor receive, nor create new messages

The apparent cause: there is a problem with our .pst file, and neither
Office nor Outlook will repair it!

If this keeps up, it will seriously interfere with our lives, particularly
since one of us is in an online MBA program! Somebody please help!
