[AccessD] OT: Outlook help (Laptop still Sick)

In Outlook XP, I am able to open a PST from File/Open/Outlook Data File.  It
adds the PST file to the existing PST file(s).

You have to import it, not just open it.  Go to file import.  


Determine the Personal Folders file (.pst) format   
On the Tools menu, click Options. 
Click Mail Setup, and then click Data Files. 
Click the data file you want to check, and then click Settings. 
Check the Format field to see if it contains the string Personal Folders
file or Personal Folders file (97-2002). Personal Folders file indicates
the new format that supports multilingual Unicode (Unicode: A character
encoding standard developed by the Unicode Consortium. By using more
than one byte to represent each character, Unicode enables almost all of
the written languages in the world to be represented by using a single
character set.) data and offers greater storage capacity for items and
folders. A file with the Personal Folders file type is not compatible
with earlier versions of Microsoft Outlook. Personal Folders file
(97-2002) indicates the earlier format that is compatible with earlier
versions of Outlook. Personal Folders file (97-2002) does not support
Unicode and offers the same storage capacity for items and folders that
was available in earlier versions of Outlook.
