not help. I dont know what to do and have 6 years of information in outlook.

Backup your pst-file and then use Control Panel-> Mail to create a new
pst-file and set it as the default delivery location. Disconnect your
original pst-file and restart Outlook. Does Outlook load now?
What is the size of this pst-file? If it is in the old ANSI format it cannot
grow beyond 2GB.
