| | Cannot update newsgroup I am using Vista and several newsgoups are working fine. However there is a very active one I need, but I have recorded only a few messages, and they are far from current. The aname of the group is as follows: alt.support.cancer.prostrate Can someone tell me how to activate this newsgroup on my new computer? Why do some work, and this one does not ? Many thanks. |

| | Re: Cannot update newsgroup Could be that this group contains a misspelling (prostRate), and the correct group is alt.support.cancer.prostate There is no activation, you just have to set up your newsreader program to access a news server, sometimes using a username & password.
