Corrupt Identities?
 

Recently all the posts in all my subscribed groups started showing up as
replied to with no original. Every thread starts with

I tried everything I could think of which was to remove all the settings. I
removed email and Newsgroup accounts and left them idle for a few days to
decide what to do. I have created new IDs now and all seems well except for
the previously messed up identities which I would like to use again. I added
new accounts thinking everything had to be fine now but those same IDs even
though they are setup to subscribe to different newsreaders and email
providers than they had been before still show the posts to be in the same
corrupt state as before. This does not occur with Agent Newsreader software
set up the same so it must be an Outlook Express issue.

Of coarse this is just one more issue that I feel has arisen from the
infection of the I.E. 7 malware update. My system has been puking on a
regular basis ever since that thing happened. I haven't found anyone with
this problem in any search of Google. Am I looking at a complete fresh
install of IE?

Thanks for any tips.

I highly doubt it is an IE7 issue.

In the *messed up* identities, in View | Current View, is Show all messages
/and/ Group messages by conversation checked?

Have you tried msnews.microsoft.com for reading MS newsgroups?

I just double(triple) checked all the settings and there are three IDs that
are giving the undesirable results while three newer ones are fine. I
exported the settings from the first three at one point to make sure I was
not mistakenly entering incorrect settings. Believe me I have looked at this
so many times and have been searching for over a week to figure this thing
out. It is not a huge issue as I do have the other IDs and other Systems
running fine so I am not desperate. I am considering replacing this drive
with a cloned backup from sometime in the recent past. This is my last
resort that has ended up saving things more than once.

Was OE open when you installed IE7? Was your anti-virus application running
when you installed IE7?

Do you see this behavior in /all/ News accounts or just some?

1a. Tools Options Read Get XX messages at a time (uncheck this
option).

1b. View Current View (select) Show all messages.

1c. Do you see this behavior in any News accounts now?

2a. Click on the following link (adds the OE6 newsgroup using Microsoft
newsserver):
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress

2b. Do you see the behavior in this new newsgroup?

3a. Create a new Named Identity via File Identities Add new identity.

3b. Tools Options Read Get XX messages at a time (uncheck this
option); View Current View (select) Show all messages.

3c. Add the MS newsserver account (news://msnews.microsoft.com).

3d. Open to the OE6 newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress

Uncheck the option to download xxx headers as suggested. Then reset the
NGs.

Right click on the NG name in the folder list and go to Properties | Local
File and then click on reset followed by compact. Then go back to the NG
and refresh it and you should get all the messages.

I finally decided to install a back up drive from before my problems with
updating started and all is fine once again. The System is running much
faster right away. I also disabled windows update and will do it manually
from now on. Thanks again for getting involved in my troubles. All in all
it seems much faster to use the old way back machine then get stuck in the
present for so long. I think after I try to correct one more strange
occurrence on another System and I will give up trying to improve things for
awhile.

Thanks again Mr.Bear.
