Vista Newsgroups don't show
I am using msnews.microsoft.com, using, Outlook Express news reader, for the
benefit of those that think I am off topic. I have ordered the Beta of Vista, so I would like to monitor the Vista specific News Group I want to access the newsgroup news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vista.general, kindly provided by Bruce Hagen. But the link does not work. The news group does not show in my list of news groups. When I try to refresh and re-download the newsgroups, they still do not show. The Vista home pages show several Vista news groups, but none of them download. Ride safe Barry "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, OE/WM" wrote in message ... "limeybiker" wrote in message ...

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and set up msnews in the new identity and see if you can download now, and if the Vista groups show.

And what happens when you click on that link? (You post here using the
ATT.net newsserver, LB, not the MS newsserver.)

I am using msnews.microsoft.com. IE6.1, Outlook Express 6, Windows XP SP2 Would the Vista Newsgroups only be visible IE 7 users.??? I tried a new identity, that didn't work.

I tried both and they both worked,
How would you answer that. I have both sets of MS newsgroups, they both work in the new identity, but the Vista ones show in the default identity under news.microsoft -- Ride safe Barry ©¿© Sunny Ocala, FL 34482, USA http://home.att.net/~b.lockyer/index.htm " mac" wrote in message ...
