Hey,
I have this problem when i try to open news in Outlook; it simply
opens a directory called: "1030". I know it has worked before.


Outlook does not and never has supported NNTP (network news transfer
protocol). Outlook EXPRESS supports NNTP. Any "news" function in
Outlook ends up loading Outlook Express to do newsgroups. You might as
well as just start by opening Outlook Express to do the newsgroups.

You sure it is opening a directory called "1030" and not one called
"1033"? What do you mean by "opening"? Is Explorer getting loaded with
it pointing at some folder on your hard drive? If so, to WHAT folder
(i.e., what is the *full* path to the folder)? Or is 1030 some error
number? Is some "folder" within your message store "opening" inside of
Outlook (i.e., Outlook is showing a folder named "1030" amongst your
Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, and other normal folder hierarchy within your
message store)?

When you look in the Internet Options applet in Control Panel, under the
Programs tab panel, is Outlook EXPRESS selected for the news client?
After setting Outlook Express to be the default newsreader, OE may ask
if it should be the default newsreader when you start it. If it does,
say no (and select to always remember your action) so that the "news"
function in Outlook will remain. Of course, you could just start
Outlook Express since that is what Outlook will load, anyway.

If the "news" function in Outlook has not disappeared, just how are you
selecting the news function from within Outlook? And WHICH version of
Outlook? Have you tried running the Detect and Repair function under
the Help menu (in any Office application)? You will need the install CD
to do the repair.
