"xxx not closed properly" dialog boxes

I have used Outlook for years, and have lately run into
something I've not seen before. I use a lot of .pst files
in my folder set, and when I open Outlook, I now get this
message:

The data file XXXX was not closed properly.
This file is being checked for problems.
<progress bar, slow scan from 30 sec to 8 min>

The only problem with this is that:
1 - in the past, I never got this message, no matter HOW
abruptly I shut down Outlook or windows;
2 - even when I shut down Outlook and Windows correctly, I
get the message

It doesn't occur every time, but when it does I can lose >
10 minutes waiting for it to go through a good number of
the .pst files.

Is there something I can do about this? I am running
Outlook 2002 on Windows 2000.
