Have a new computer and am trying to d/l newsgroups. My newsgroups
account is set up correctly. When I click on newsgroups I get this
error message: "480 authorization required." I can't find anything
about this in the KBs. Suggestions?

What news server are you using? Are you using the Microsoft server
directly or your ISP's? Your ISP will usually require
username/password. Microsoft's server does not. Use
msnews.microsoft.com.
