If you're having a problem with a specific group, reset it.

While in a newsgroup: View | Current View. Make sure Show All Messages and
Group Messages By Conversation are checked.

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.

Or go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now and choose the
group, or server at the top and then Reset.

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.

My personal preference is to disregard synchronizing and rather have OE
check for news when it checks for mail. Tools | Accounts | News. Check: "
Include this account...........".

Thanks Bruce,

Looks as though my virgin server must be playing up again. The message
has not appeared in OE and is not responding to 'get next headers'.

I already went through a lot of hassle when virgin's server for Usenet
seemed to be very selective about what it would accept and download.
Looks like I may have to start over again! I already have two lots of
microsoft public groups in my file tree...

Grr!

Cheers,

S

[No takers under IE6 group]

Experiencing hold ups and shut down hangs when IE is opened from within
OE
or O.

In Outlook the result is that a version of IE remains in programmes in
Process Explorer after it has been supposedly shut down - presumably
shutting the version that opens as a service from within O leaves the
other
one incompletely shut down. This is accompanied by a 'closing
programme
autocomplete' message that prevents shutdown, when O has been used as
the
mail handler.

When OE is used as the mail handler IE still opens as a service, rather
than
the programme itself, from links in mails. The 'service IE' tends to
search
for ages, or even hang over the links. However, if the programme IE
itself
is opened first, they go through OK - though the service version still
runs.

I have noted the mail on a similar topic below, and had a look at the
files/open with.
In our case (XP Pro) the URL file type was set to open with "Shell Doc
Object & Control Library" (?)
However, resetting this to IE still opens it as a service and it still
takes
ages.

What is going on?

Cheers,
