Default Outlook 2003 buttons don't work anymore

I have outlook 2003, and recently two buttons stopped working. First, if I
click "Send/Receive", nothing happens. Second, I cannot change the account
with which to send my email anymore. If I click on "account" when composing
an email, outlook runs into problems. Any idea about what's going on? thanks.

Thanks. I deleted that file (what's that file for btw?), but the Send/Receive
file still doesn't work. It seems whenever I open the Outlook, a new SRS file
is generated.

thanks again if you can provide further help.

That is the send and receive settings configuration file and if its corrupt
it will cause issues with the menu and with send and receives. Outlook
recreates a new SRS with default settings.

I see. But the new SRS file that Outlook generates still doesn't work. What
should I do?
