Default .pst not compatible with this version (2003)

Doesn't trying to open a .pst file that has the read-only flag set on it put up the same warning?

There is no such thing as a PST file that is incompatible with Outlook 2003.
The only action that throws that error message is trying to open an Outlook
2003 PST file in an older version of Outlook.

No, it's pretty accurate. I actually reinstalled Office 2003 to make sure.
The help-about sais it's "Outlook(r) 2003 v.11.5207.5207
I've noticed that the pst-file works on my father's computer
(v11.5608.5606)

I've come to the conclusion that this version of outlook must be somewhat
"bad" (with no way of fixing it except getting another version)... I'll
export it to another format from another computer to solve the problem.
Thanks anyway.

You post is inaccurate. You are not running Outlook 2003 at home, are
you?
You are running an older version and PST files from Outlook 2003 are not
compatible with older versions.
