Outlook 2000 won't send/rcv, 0 tasks

Today, for no reason I can determine, Outlook 2000 stopped sending and receiving email. I have three POP accounts (same provider). When I click the "Send/Receive" button or choose to Send/Receive All, the status box normally shows all three accounts and the progress. The list of accounts/tasks is empty. And the bottom status indicator says "0 of 0 tasks completed." There are no error messages

I have run SCANPST.EXE. I have compacted the PST file. I have reinstalled Outlook. I have gone to Tools / Accounts and unchecked the "include in send receive", saved, closed, reopened, and rechecked it. I found a Knowledge Base article about a corrupted OUTCMD.DAT file, so I renamed it (per the article)

Nothing works. Outlook still opens, appears to work normally, but absolutely will not send and receive

Any suggestions appreciated
 
Oh, and I also ran the "Detect and Fix" application from the Help menu. No luck with that either.
 
Also, I am able to use another computer's Outlook 2000 installation to retrieve and send messages on these accounts, so it's not a problem with the mail service provider

Any suggestions

Thanks
