The pst is the file the calendar, contacts, mail etc are stored in.
If you got a new computer and created the profile in outlook and did not move the pst from another machine, you are using a Unicode pst and it can hold an unlimited number of calendar items, so the problem isn't a "full" folder. The status bar should show the # of items in the currently open folder - show it from the View menu.
Did you use cleanviews switch to reset the view or just reset the curent view?

That's odd. It should come up at the top of the start menu, like this:
http://www.xsolive.com/Outlook Screen shots/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=69
Wait for outlook is display, then type the switch - it comes up here as fast
as I can type, but I do this often enough that its cached.
Before using the switch, you need to close outlook. Verify it is closed by
looking at the processes tab in Task Manager.
