Since March 26th, I can't read any of my Newsgroup accounts using
Outlook Express 6. When i try to download the headers, it appears to
be downloading something as the blue progress bar changes. But at the
bottom it states "0 messages -500 unread 1000 not downloaded". Note
the minus unread.

Anyone else having similar problems?



I found the solution, for those still interested. I live in the UK, so
the time and date had changed for 31st March which meant I had to
verify the time and date for the computer. However, I mistakenly typed
in 2009 for the year. Anyway, after changing the date back, everything
is fine. So if you get a fool posting here with the same problem
around the time when the clocks change, tell them to check the date on
their computer!
