In Tools | Options | Read - Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time. In the
Maintenance Tab, at the top, select the newsgroup(s) you want a then hit
Reset.

You may want to do this first:

If you want to download newsgroups, but don't want hundreds, or
thousands, of messages, you can create a message rule such as this:

Tools>Message Rules>News.

Box 1: Where the message was sent more than days ago
Box 2: Delete it & Stop processing more rules
Box 3: Click on "Days" and choose the # of days you want.
Name the rule.

It will only download the messages for the number of days you selected.

If this doesn't work, delete the news account and add it back. That can
also become corrupted.

I can no longer access any newsgroup messages. When I go to Properties on
any newsgroup I find there are many messages there but when I open the
message pane it says "There are no items in this view."
If I Right Click on a newsgroup and click Catch Up, once in a while the
messages appear but usually don't. After I close out I again cannot
access the messages.

Using XP Home w/SP2 and Outlook Express 6. TIA for any ideas.
