Can't send e-mail or access accounts

[dredged]

My outlook had been working just fine, but now I can't send or receive e-mail
and when I try to go to the e-mail account window I get the following message:

"The operation failed due to a registry or installation problem.
Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please
reinstall."

I have restarted Outlook and I have reinstalled Outlook, but I am
still getting this error message.

My OS is Windows XP 5.1, I have Norton Internet Security and am using
Verizon DSL.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Please repost your question on an Outlook newsgroup; this one is for a
different program, Microsoft Access.

Scroll down the list of newsgroups; there are several starting with
microsoft.public.outlook.
