Re: Can't Open Newsgroup Messages in OE6 XP SP2

Hi C_T,

It is probably significant that you are able to replicate this problem on
different computers while others have not experienced this issue. I don't
have an answer, but more information may be helpful.

Is any message anti-virus or spam scan in use?
What news server?

Can you open this newsgroup using a (NNTP) link?
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
This can be used in the Start, Run box or IE address box.

I have seen what may be similar issues in the past, however, haven't seen a
resolution that works for me.
I have Windows XP, SP2 with Internet Explorer 7, running Outlook Express 6,
and have created a newsgroup account, and subscribed to several Newsgroups.
An example is: microsoft.public.pocketpc.ebooks
The newsgroup does show up in the list, however, when attempting to open the
newsgroup to see actual messages, the screen just flashes and immediately
goes right back to the list of newsgroups. I can never get into the actual
newsgroup to read or reply to messages.

On this same computer, if I "uninstall" Windows SP2, ALL Newsgroups function
perfectly normal. It is only on SP2 that it fails to work. I have
replicated this problem on several different computers.

Can anyone please advise on possible things that can correct this problem.
On my work computer, it also works, until I install SP2. The problem is
that
I need to have SP2 installed to comply with the corporate computer image.

Thank you,


.
