Default Can't get new messages

View | Current View. Check Show all messages & Group messages by
conversation.

Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time. Then, right
click on the newsgroup in the Folder Tree | Properties | Local File | Reset.
Switch to another folder and then back and all available messages will be
downloaded again.

It would be a good idea to compact your folders when you're done.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Hello,
This is a two-fold problem:
1) On NG microsoft.public.windows.me.general I can not get any new
messages
pass 12/8/2006.
2) When posting to the above NG I also can't view my own posts. (Through
emails, which work - I have been referred to this NG....(I hope it posts!)

Running Win ME, IE 6.0 SP1, OE 6.0

I have tried the following without any progress:
1) Unsubscribed from the NG and re-subscribed. Downloaded messages still
go
up to 12/8/2006 (Nothing new shows up from that date on!)
2) Have reset through priorities and cleared messages. Same problem.
3) Have restored the system twice. First to 12/6/2006 (no change) and
then
to 11/19/2006.
These options did not change anything either.

The only thing I noticed is that I've been getting Script errors when
connecting to OE thru my ISP. No major changes have been made to my PC
and
I have been running the antivirus program (Avast), S&D and the
maintenance
wizard to clean files, run risk scan and defrag every other day. No
problems show up.
Should you need more info please let me know. I would appreciater any
help.
Ed
