Hi. I am having problems posting messages to newsgroups in Outlook Express 6
using Windows Xp Home SP2! I write the messages and click send but my
messages do not appear even after reloading or resending. I know it normally
takes around 5 minutes to upload them to the server but this is not my case!

A few months ago I reinstalled Windows Xp Home and reinstalled all the
updates from Microsoft Update but this issue has not been resolved. Please
help if anyone can!

Thanks,

Nick Magos

What newsgroups on what newsserver?

This newsgroup on the MS newsserver:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress

As far as I know I can't post on any msnews.microsoft.com newsgroup including
microsoft.public.security!

Configuration is as follows:

News server: msnews.microsoft.com
Server timeouts: 2 minutes
Server Port Number: 119
Download x number of messages per time is unchecked
User information is filled out correctly

What next?

Test by clicking on the following link to open this newsgroup in OE:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...tlooke xpress

Find your thread ("posting problems in OE 6!") and try to reply to this
message using OE.

If no joy, reply via the web-interface and tell me what ISP you're using.
Also tell me if you're trying to post using OE from a location other than
your own home.

I clicked on the link you provided from IE and it opened this newsgroup in
OE. I tried to respond to the post but apparently it got blocked somewhere!
Specifically, I typed the message clicked on send and then send/receive but
nothing happened. Actually, I got confirmation that the message was sent but
when I checked in the newsgroup it was not there! Now I am typing this
message from the web interface.

My ISP is Forthnet S.A. in Greece and my connection is 128 KB/S ISDN(2
channel) dial up connection. Yeah, I know its outdatted technology but in
Greece we move kind of slow here. LOL! Also, I am accessing the web from
home so there should'nt be any hidden firewalls other than Norton Antivirus
auto-protect. I have even turned off the default Windows firewall because
Norton does just fine and I don't want any conflicts!

Nick Magos

I don't know if this is relevant but I recently did a system file check upon
booting and then a system defrag. If there were any system files missing
wouldn't this be picked up and corrected at that time?

I reinstalled Windows Xp SP2 several months ago after a Spy sherriff
infection. I went to an online help site which guided me in removing most of
the problems but certain applications stopped functioning correctly after
that especially the IE mini browsers. Most common applications such as Word,
Paint, Notepad, etc use this mini browser in their help menus.

After reinstalling windows and the updates the help menus are work correctly
again however the posting problem has still not been resolved and I am
starting to get annoyed because most of my free time is being spent trying to
solve problems instead of enjoying the internet!

I am not having any problems with emails and this is what is perplexing me.
Since message posts get blocked why don't the emails do also unless they are
being sent with a different method?! I willing to bet money some crucial
system file is missing or corrupted but if this is the case how can it be
replaced/re-registered? What is the name of this file?

I remember re-registering Windows picture and fax viewer last year after it
too would not respond after clicking on images. I was told to register a
file by using the run command.

I hope am not boring anyone with this but I think the more information one
has the better the chances for a correct diagnosis and timely resolution!

Once again thanks for any help!

On the Servers tab of the msnews.microsoft.com account make sure that the
option to logon is NOT checked.

Are these messages in your Sent Items?

Do not send mail.

After sending the newsgroup reply, is a copy of the message found in Sent
Items (assuming you have the option enabled)?
