your first stop. If you want assistance in these groups, you need to post in
a Windows group, not in this .NET programming group. Here's how to find the
group you need.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the Windows XP category, then find a group there to post in.
