Stan,

You might be better off posting in an Outlook Express group.

Thanks for the links. When I click on a newsgroup the messages don't show
as they used to but if I go to Tools etc and Synchronize I download
groups of 300 that I can then view. Once I close I have to access the
messages the same way next time which is a pain but at least I can access
them. Stan "Wesley Vogel" <123WVogel955@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message

Make sure that your downloading all the messages. Especially look at 3
below.

[[Downloading a newsgroup in Outlook Express
When you open a newsgroup, Outlook Express automatically downloads new
headers. If you are using the default settings, only the most recent 300
headers will download. If there are more than 300 unread messages, you
will
see an estimate of the total number highlighted in blue in the Folder
list next to the group's name.

If you wish to download more than the default 300, click Get Next 300
Headers on the Tools menu. But if you find that you have to do this
regularly, you might want to increase the number of headers downloaded at
one time.

1. Click Options on the Tool menu.

2. Click the Read tab.

3. If you want to download all headers each time you open a group, clear
the
check box labeled Get 300 headers at a time.

4. To raise or lower the download limit, change 300 to any number from 50
to
1000.]]

I don't really know what you mean by new identity. Could you please be
specific and tell me what to do in "baby steps." Thanks. Stan

Yes.

Try creating a new Identity in OE and see if that helps.....
