Hello,
This is a two-fold problem:
1) On NG microsoft.public.windows.me.general I can not get any new messages
pass 12/8/2006.
2) When posting to the above NG I also can't view my own posts. (Through
emails, which work - I have been referred to this NG....(I hope it posts!)

Running Win ME, IE 6.0 SP1, OE 6.0

I have tried the following without any progress:
1) Unsubscribed from the NG and re-subscribed. Downloaded messages still go
up to 12/8/2006 (Nothing new shows up from that date on!)
2) Have reset through priorities and cleared messages. Same problem.
3) Have restored the system twice. First to 12/6/2006 (no change) and then
to 11/19/2006.
These options did not change anything either.

The only thing I noticed is that I've been getting Script errors when
connecting to OE thru my ISP. No major changes have been made to my PC and
I have been running the antivirus program (Avast), S&D and the maintenance
wizard to clean files, run risk scan and defrag every other day. No
problems show up.
Should you need more info please let me know. I would appreciater any help.

Switch to another folder and then back and all available messages will be

It would be a good idea to compact your folders when you're done.

Hi George,

Thank you. I have followed the instructions from Bruce Hagen of the OE NG,
which you had emailed me. You won't believe how long of a process this has
been (I forgot to mention in my post that I'm on dialup.)
Results? I am back to a worse scenario:

1) Now, messages for both ME NG and OE NG only go up to 12/8/2006.
2) Because of the above condition, if you will, I now can't see neither new
posts, nor my own posts in either NG. I've elected not to post any further,
since I can not view the new messages, nor can I see my own posts. Note that
I don't wish to be perceived as indifferent - I just don't have access!
Sad, isn't it?
Just wanted to make a point on Bruce's instructions, the first step
specified to "uncheck": Get XXX headers at a time......Well, when the reset
switch was cleared on Properties, I had 40 thousand plus messages downloaded
on OE NG - this took 3 hours to complete (why it went back to Dec. 14,
2005 - I don't know). The compacting took another hour.
In closing and to repeat myself, this has been an exercise in frustration,
especially when I'm now ready to throw this PC out the window.
I'm curious about what you indicate on your last email - that is, the
Earthlink reporting of similar problems as mine, and will go ahead and check
this out per your suggestion. Please keep me posted on any new
developments. Thanks.
I also want to thank you for your patience and truly appreciate your concern
and follow up.
What next? Feel free to share this message with Bruce Hagen, since I don't
know his email address.
Cheers,
Ed

This is his real address?

1: He needs to visit Window Updates

2: He would have better luck using MSNews as his newsreader for MS
newsgroups.

Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader for MSNews:
http://www.insideoe.com/resources/co...tm#setupmsnews

And/or:
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...snewreader.htm

3: There is the option of using the Web Interface instead of OE:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

4: If using OE as a newsreader, there is also this option.

If you want to download newsgroups, but don't want hundreds, or thousands,
of messages, you can create a message rule such as this:

Tools | Message Rules | News.

Box 1: Where the message was sent more than days ago
Box 2: Delete it & Stop processing more rules
Box 3: Click on "Days" and choose the # of days you want.
Name the rule.

In Tools | Options | Read - Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time. When you go
to, or subscribe to a newsgroup, it will only download the messages for the
number of days you selected.

Opinions on this vary, but in Tools | Accounts | News | Properties |
General, I have Include this account when checking for new messages checked.
When OE automatically checks for mail, (however often you have it set for),
it will also download any new news messages at the same time.

Thank you Bruce and George for your patience. The problem appears to be
resolved as of tonight. I had followed prior instructions sent by you both
and had not made any headway. George insisted I click on a link he sent me
and voilà!..all messages downloaded up to date. If it was a server error,
no one is admitting this. Anyway, thanks aagain and this issue can now be
closed.
