Hi, using Windows XP(Home)SP2, IE7, OE6, Everything up to date. Below is an
excerpt from a message in this Windowsxp.general Newsgroup. You will notice
the illegible characters in the 3rd line. I get that in many of the messages
that are displayed from the microsoft.public newsgroups. Sometimes there
are many other words scrambled in this manner, in a message. Although its
happening in OE I could not tell if it would be an XP or OE problem. Does
anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem?
Thanks for any help.

get any power I know a PS/2 mouse and keyboard can't be unplugged and
then
back but a USB mouse and keyboard can and also the desktop image stays
there
my video card isnââ,¬â"¢t over heating and I don't get any HDD activity
I have
checked everything possible you know everything that everybody else
tills you
to do.

Newsreaders can't search the contents of messages (text) unless the message
has been downloaded.

You're just full of good info today! That's reasonable, how could it
if the data isn't there. Thanks. One more little mystery of life solved.

What you just posted here which I separated with ~~~~~~~~, You see that
often if someone creates a post in Word with Smart Quotes enabled and then
copies and pastes it into a newsgroup post.
