That is the program I am having trouble with and looking for help
on.
I wrote that in my post, sorry it was not clear.
"Having trouble with Vista windows newsgroup login".
I have been using the Vista windows e mail News program (comes up when
I hit Start) ok for about 8 months. Now all of a sudden it won't
login to newsgroups, keeps asking over and over.
If I bypass login it won't post the msg.
Also tried Restore and after it runs and restarts it says did not
complete.
Any thoughts on where to get help?

Several people have been having this problem with WM. I had it for a couple
days. I found a couple solutions. The first one was to sign up for
Motzarella.
http://news.motzarella.org/RegisterNewsAccount.php
It's free. Loaded it with the same setting my ISP uses, and subbed to the
same groups. It's slightly slower, but it works with WM when my ISPs feed
would not. Then someone said it was Anti Virus. Said if you use AVG (I do)
you had to undo the E-mail scan in it. I figured what the hell. removed AVG,
re installed it, and left off the E-mail scan and at first it worked. The
started losing the feed again, but now it's been working for a couple days.
A lot of people are having the same problem.
