What size is your old (failed) pst?

Within Outlook you can open your Archive files or backups (if they are
copies of a pst, or created using the backup addin), ie Within Outlook,
File>Open>Personal Folders........browse to the file

I've hit problems with my outlook.pst. Last week I traced the Inbox Repair
Tool and successfully repaired it. A few days later it again showed error
messages
(Could not open the folders [for] email messages, etc) but now (and I've
tried several times) the Inbox Repair Tool itself reports an Error (at
stage
4, or was it 5, of 8).

I've created a new set of Personal Folders so am able to use Outlook
(2000),
but I'm desperate to access all my past emails, my tasks and contacts.
Some
I have as past backups; and the files are all there so I can try to
extract
the details, as text or whatever can be done.

Suggestions very gratefully received
