Weird Outlook Behavior: Custom Tasks & Appointments

So.

I recently got and wiped a Trojan, and I'm concerned some important
outlook files went with it somehow. Immediately afterwards, I got some
really strange outlook behavior. Here's the growing list.

* Can't delete appointment items in the day/week/month view, but can
create new ones.
* I used to use custom forms that tracked a subcategory for each task
(for better project management) - now if I so much as type anything in
the custom form page (even if a "standard" field), the task won't
close. When you try closing it, save and close, etc... won't take
anything but close without saving.
* I'm pretty sure I used to be able to second mouse click on
appointments (for instance, to delete them) - the second mouse click
pop-up menu doesn't show at all.

Also, in not-specific outlook behavior, the whole computer (minus the
mouse) locks up every 5 minutes or so for about 5 seconds, with no
programs taking input.

Corrupted explorer shell? I dunno what's going on. I ran scanpst.exe
and it said I had some errors.. they were fixed, but the problems
persist.

Help? Reinstalling outlook isn't an option til I get back to my discs
in August, and I'd love it to Work again.

peace,
mike

PS The trojan was Zlob.L, btw.
