How do you know the PST was corrupt if there was no message? Try this: with
Outlook closed, delete the file %AppData%\Microsof\Outlook\outcmd.dat. Then
restart Outlook. What happens?

There are any number of ways to damage a PST. We'd have to know a lot more
about what happened on your PC just prior to the problem.
 
The PC has a 128MB memory;300MHz processor(an old PC)Im using WinntSP6 and
Outlook 2000SP3.

Can you list the ways how the PST damage/corrupt?
 
There are too many variables to list.
