Outlook2000 smtp error 0x800ccc0f

[Mike]

I can receive tho not send even test emails. I have the latest SPs/updates. I
have also tried OE6 and even Netscape7(which seems to send but mails never
arrive). I have tried several diagnostic packages. One, a spam blocker, did
not locate the smtp info. I have checked with my ISP and I can send emails
from my mailzone server. My settings are correct and there are no extraneous
boxes ticked. Could this be a registry problem?

I can receive tho not send even test emails. I have the latest SPs/updates. I
have also tried OE6 and even Netscape7(which seems to send but mails never
arrive) with the same results. I have tried several diagnostic packages.
One, a spam blocker, did not locate the smtp info.
I have checked with my ISP and I can send emails from my mailzone server.
My settings seem to be correct and there are no extraneous boxes ticked.
Could this be a registry problem? I previous had Office XP on the system. It
became corrupted. I uninstalled it and I replaced it with Office2000
Premium. If I reinstall Windows what would I lose?

I have tried all the troubleshooting w/o any progress. I have disabled my
firewall, even completely unistalled Nortonsystemworks 2005, un/re-installed
my internet mail accts, etc. I am a home/office used, no network, dial-up
modem, NTL connection, Onetel ISP, no proxy servers, really nothing fancy,
yet I cannot send a email and am quickly losing my mind.

here is a log I created by editing the Registry.
