Outlook 2010 not responding

[noxqcez]

Just finished a clean install of Windows7 Ultimate and Office 2010 Beta.
Previous .pst file loaded fine into the new Outlook and all data came. No
problems using Outlook 2010 yesterday. Today Outlook opens fine but hangs
after about 15 seconds at which time I receive NOT RESPONDING message in bar.
I've rebooted and used repair option and cannot resolve the issue. .pst file
is 1.9GB. Any suggestions?

Sounds to me like you could be using an ANSI PST with a size limit of 2GB.
Check that from within Outlook by right-clicking on the PST root and choosing
Properties>Advanced. If you see a reference to "97-2002" in the Format field,
that's the problem. Create a new PST and migrate the data:
