Outlook 2002 locks up

Outlook227
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?
