Have you tried using the ".../CleanViews" switch on the
Outlook 2000 machine? The link below will give you the
instructions on how to use it.
NOTE: This will wipe out any special views that you have
created in Outlook and restore them to the original settings.
OL2002: Additional Command-Line Switches

Normally I would think of a "corrupt" meeting in the cal as
the culprit of this type of problem. But since you can view
everything without problem in OL2003 I am disinclined to
think this. If this were the case I would make the suggestion
below:
I have found that it is usually in a recurring appointment that
has gone bad during the week of the freeze (when did the
freeze start?)
1) Open the Outlook but do not try to open the calendar.
2) Create a New folder (Calendar Test)
3) Do an advanced find on the old calendar and sort events
by recurrence.
- Press F3
- Change the Look For: text box to Appointments and Meetings
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Click Field
- Select All Appointment fields
- Select Recurring
- Condition: equals
- Value: Yes
- Click the Add to List button
- Click Find Now
Drop and drag from advanced find listed events one at a time to
the new calendar, when you get to the corrupt item it will give
you an error message or it will hang. (delete this item)
Or if it is not a recurring (which our's always are) you could
perform the find for all and do the same as above...
Move all your calendar items from Calendar Test folder back to
original calendar (these are previously dragged over items).

I am running outlook 2003 on an Exchange 2000 server. I
can see my calendar without any problems using Outlook
2003 but just recently if I get onto a PC that has
Outlook 2000 it will go to 100% CPU usage and Outlook
freezes if I try to read the calendar.
Any ideas solutions?
