The error is:
"Microsoft Office Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience."

If they are "old pst files" then are they in the old ANSI stucture?
What version of Outlook created these "old pst files"? If they were
created by a pre-2003 version of Outlook, they are ANSI format and
have a 2GB limit in size (actually 1.87GB). How big are these old pst
files?

And just how are you "opening" the old pst files?
