Use a newsreader. It will make it easier for you to track what is
happening..

You are using the web-based interface to this newsgroup. That's
clearly the worst possible way to participate here and also the worst
possible way to search here.

To participate, use a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes
with Windows. See
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...snewreader.htm

To search the newsgroups (your question above) use the Googlegroups
Advanced Search, at http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=&

As this is a Vista newsgroup presumably the OP is running Vista.
What is the point of directing the OP to Outlook Express and saying it comes with Windows ?

Re: retrieving questions and answers

Outlook Express in windows vista? not

Hit your "Start Orb" type windows mail and hit enter.

If you want to set up an email account you can, otherwise cancel out of the
wizard.

It comes pre-configured for Microsoft newsgroups. on the Left pane click
where it says "Microsoft Communities" when it asks you if you want to
download the groups select yes.

once it's done find this group:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

and search for your name or email
