| | Is there a public news server that carries these newsgroups? Using the browser method is difficult, it won't show what threads have been answered. I tried accessing my ISPs news server via the Outlook Newsreader, but it does not carry this newsgroup, only "microsoft.public.windows.vista.general" Is there a public source for these newsgroups, or do I have to hit up my ISP and start asking them for help?

Check out dotsrc @ http://dotsrc.org/usenet/. That is what I'm using to read this group. It is free... Albeit with Microsoft Entourage, which isn't the best newsreader I've seen. |
