Your PST file is oversized. Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier
versions limit the size of Personal Folders (PST) file to 2GB.
Whenever the PST file reaches or exceeds that limit, you will not be
able to open or load it any more, or you cannot add any new data to
it. This is called oversized PST file problem. More detailed
information can be found at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/2gb-pst.htm

You can use Advanced Outlook Repair to solve the problem, by either
converting it into Outlook 2003 format ( http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/convert-2gb-pst.htm
), or splitting it into smaller pieces ( http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/split-2gb-pst.htm
)

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There are times when we need to manage PST files and its large size makes it difficult. If the PST size increases more than 2 GB, PST file may get corrupt or lead to low performance issues. Hence, usage of Kernel for PST Split acts as the best solution, which splits the file into smaller manageable sub files even when the file is over network or sharing mode. The tool provides 5 options for file split. It is also available in free evaluation version.for more info visit http://www.splitpstfile.net/[/FONT]
