Boris - Because you are using a web interface that leeches Usenet newsgroup
posts - *not* a real forum - the rest of us who are using real newsreaders
don't see the thread to which you refer. We don't see what you do. Since
you didn't quote any of the original problem, I don't have any of the
details necessary to help you.
Please create a new post with all pertinent details about your system and
the issue per the "How to Post" section below. Also consider using a
newsreader to access Usenet. This is very easy to do. See the information
below.

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
