Outlook 2003 send and receive does not start up when outlook is opened

i run outlook 2003 on windows xp. Send and receive does not start immediately when I open outlook, as it used to do. How can I fix this???? it is very annoying.

thanks in advance,

To get email upon startup, just click send/recv to get the first downloads for the day.
