This used to happen to me frequently when using Outlook Express. I recently
upgraded to an HP laptop like yours. For several days, things worked well
with Windows Mail, but now I am getting the same problems you are. Today I
installed Windows Live Mail and did not see the problem. However the color
scheme makes it extremely difficult to use. Changing the color scheme only
seems to affect the icon line, not the newsgroup names and text. I suspect
the problem here may be my poor vision!
:-(
One other problem common to Outlook Express and Windows Mail was "catching
up" in newsgroups to which I just added. This would invariably lock up the
computer and I would have to use the task manager to kill the newsreader. I
have not noticed this problem with Windows Live Mail.
