Re: Lost All Newsgroups/Error Message

Installing or uninstalling IE7 should not have affected your newsgroups.
IE has nothing to do with newsgroups.

Try setting up the Microsoft news server and see if that works OK.

If that works, then it points to a problem with your ISP's news server
or settings for it. In that case, try removing the news account,
restart OE and set it up again. If you still have problems, try setting
it up in a new identity.

If the Microsoft news server also fails, that could point to a firewall
issue.

I had Explorer 7 downloaded, decided I did not like it, so returned to
my old
Explorer 6. On Outlook Express, the newsgroups disappeared. When I try
to
re-set them, I get an error message that says "Your NNTP server has
not
responded in 60 seconds, do you want to continue". Nothing else ever
happens.
The settings are the same as before and I had no problem accessing
newsgroups. I went thru a session with the local provider (Time
Warner) and
the technician said it appeared to be a problem with IE. If there any
help or
suggestion out there... Thanks!
