Outlook 2000 (Internet Only config) on XP Home OS

I deleted 500+ Contact records from my Contacts folder.  I have 800+
Contact records remaining, 2 of which I suspect are corrupt for the
following reasons:
- the gray bar that normally contains the Contact Name in bold appears
as a plain gray bar with no text inside
- these contact records can be opened but not edited
- these contact records cannot be deleted (Outlook freezes)

The 500+ Contact records that I just deleted are showing up in the
Delected Items folder.  I have not been successful at deleting  these:
- by emptying the Deleted Items folder (Outlook freezes)
- by attempting to delete only one at a time (Outlook freezes)

I have run Detect and Repair from the Outlook Help menu.
I have run the Inbox Repair Tool.
I have renamed outcmd.dat to outcmd.old.

What else can I do to get rid of these unwanted (500+) and bad (2)
Contact records?
