WHY?
 
Why, when I mark READ all of the messages in a NG, does it still give me a
BOLD name for the group?

This can happen if your desktop icon font is set to bold. Go to: Control
Panel | Display | Appearance | Advanced. In the Item box, scroll down to
Icon and click the *B* once to return the fonts to normal. Also, the font
size should be set to 8. (Mine are Tahoma - 8). OK and Apply.

THIS newsgroup, for example, is one of several that are marked READ and it
stands out as BOLD and all the messages are READ.

THIS newsgroup, for example, is one of several that are marked READ

One, or several? Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time.
Now right click on the newsgroup name in the folder tree | Properties |
Local File. Now, Reset and go to another newsgroup and then back to this
one. The messages will be downloaded again. Mark them all Read and see if
that fixes it.

When you're done, compact the folder for the newsgroup(s) you did this for.

First of all, why did you change your WinXP SP2 from the default of
downloading updates automatically. You are years behind in your updates.

To find Windows Update open Internet Explorer and click Tools and then
