I have never had any trouble accessing this group, but I have recently
updated to Vista and find it impossible to to get into that group.
The login refuses to work.
The question window fails to initiate and it is as slow as a three legged
donkey.
I have been using my hotmail address that I have had for years.
What am I doing wrong?


The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader,
such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows XP or Windows Mail, which
comes with Vista.
