thanks for the warning Will. i'll share here what i have done and what changes my pst files have undergone.
my 2003 pst file was first creating using office xp. then i updgraded to office 2003 build 4920. still used the same pst file. (didn't make any backups). on another dual boot, i used the same pst file again in office xp.
when office 2003 build 5207 came, and as i realised it cannot be installed over build 4920, i uninstalled build 4920 and installed build 5207 and still used the same pst. (made a backup before using it in 5207 but didn't need it).
adobe acrobat 6 didn't run smoothly for some reason (i don't know if it is cos office 2003) but i just installed office xp again, after uninstalling office 2003 build 5207.
now this is where i got one small problem. outlook opened ok. but when i clicked send/receive, it said "unable to perform action" or something. so i had to reinstall office 2003 build 5207.
is this what u call the pst file unusable? or something else? i was able to read the emails though. but i couldn't send/receive emails.
