Outlook 2002 Personal Folders problem

When booting the system and just as Outlook started
loading it gave me the following message:

the data file "old personal folders" was not closed
properly. this file is being checked for problems.

I watched the little window showing the minutes that took
to check and at the end Outlook worked fine. It was very
annoying and time consuming. I was planning to address
the issue in the same forum I'm doing now but then
disaster hit. I had to re-install everything. I used
Norton Ghost and re-installation worked perfectly!
Outlook did not give any problems and the personal
folders message disappeared. Then I went to install all
the new MS office security patches and at the end the MS
Office SP3. Immediately after installation of the SP3 the
personal folders problem reappeared. Is the SP3 the
culprit? is it not? I couldn't say for sure. One thing is
sure the problem reappeared after installation of the SP3.

I need to fix this problem! All suggestions are welcomed

tks
