Re: Setting up News in Outlook 2007 Vista 64 -- all used to be fine in XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you. I have been working with the support from the ISP and newsreader software.

We seem to be all stumped -- and again it worked fine on XP.

Would it be possible that the Mail server password and the news reader password (that are not the same) are conflicting???

This has nothing to do with Outlook. Outlook is not a news reader and never has been. Ask about your news reader in a group that supports it or ask about Vista's news reader in a Windows Mail group.

I have a new Vista 64 system, but I cannot get news to work correctly.
Everthing used to work on Windows XP Professional just fine; the only change
is the new system with Vista.

I normally use the news tool NewsBin, so I downloaded the Vista 64 version.
I kept getting authenicticaion errors and no connections. Here we tested my
login, password and their ISP address using Telnet and it worked fine.

I tried using the Outlook 2007 News, setting up the same server. The
behavior is strange. Looks like the server looks setup fine with the "This
server requires me to login" checked and the correct ISP login/password
(checking for basic errors like a space etc.). Instead connected to the
newsserver I get a request for user/password. I even tried to type in the
correct user/password but that did not work either, always getting a 480
error. After that it erases my login/password in the server information.

Any idea why my user/password is not already there? and why it erases the
server data?

Anyone tried NewsBin on Vista 64 and got it to work ok?
