Check your settings @ viewcurrent view while in a newsgroup, select top &
bottom options only.
Go to toolsoptionsread tabremove the check mark from 'get ### headers'.

Missing folders? is there a plus [+] next to any of the folders that you can
see?

OE doesn't see anything in the Root directory. If you mean OE's store
folder, OE only sees those DBX files that Folders.dbx knows about. To make
those newsgroups visible delete the DBX file and then resubscribe.

Newsgroups can become lost like this when OE tries to check and the server
has (temporarily) dropped the newsgroup. OE decides the news group no
longer exists an quits trying but does not remove the DBX file.

Since you have WinXP SP2 you will want this update:
There are two articles, KB918766 and KB918651, but the latter is not
currently available. The download link is
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

It places the backup in Recycled, overwriting any earlier backup of the
sane folder(s). To use it, copy it to the store folder, delete the one you
want to replace and then rename the BAK file to DBX. (It's a bit more
complicated if the messed up DBX file isn't there or contains messages that
are new that you want to keep.
