Retrieve email problem: "The operation failed"

[HH]

When I click on Send/Receive in my Outlook 2002 to try to retrieve new
emails, an error window pops up immediately which states: "The operation
failed." I reinstalled Outlook 2002. No help. I tried the repair function.
No help. I use Windows XP. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Before I reinstalled Outlook 2002, the program occasionally would not load
at all. When I did a Control/Alt/Delete, I received an error message that
stated that the problem was caused by a conflict between Outlook 2002 and
WinFaxPro. I don't even have WinFaxPro installed on this computer.

This WinFax conflict issue where WinFax has never been installed is a
problem which is hitting 'some' users. Microsoft is apparently aware and
looking into the problem. No fix has been posted as yet
