Guest Mike M Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS... Since you are using Outlook Express and are posting direct to the Microsoft news server the problem has to be at your end. Is it possible that you might have accidentally set OE to block your posts - Tools | Message Rules | Blocked Senders List? If so you will need to delete the entry and reset the NGs. Alternatively have you perhaps set up a message rule and instead of perhaps highlighting or colouring your posts it is deleting them (Tools | Message Rules | News). I don't think that changing server as suggested by Alias will do anything to solve the problem unless you have a message rule causing the problem and that it uses the news server as part of the rule. If this is the case then it is probably simpler to correct the rule. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com jeanette <jeany@lostincyber.com> wrote: > hi again ppl..... > > i replied to your replies to my post,,,, (the original ones that i > Still cant see.. grrr),, and it is now about 15 minutes or so since > i did that..

Guest Heather Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS... Ahhh......thanks Mike. That is what I figured was happening but thought I had better read all the answers to see if someone else thought so too. I did it to myself once, lol. And thanks re the version soup answer.....it was not something I paid a great lot of attention to because I never would have reinstalled WinME over itself. I think it is now toast.....said it couldn't find "explorer.exe" the last time I tried to start it. Cheers from the Pickle Lady...... I am gathering up the necessities for a 2-day bread & butter pickle making spree, which can only happen one week in August. If I had to sell them, you would be paying about $50/jar. But I have to admit they are worth it!!!!

Guest Arturo Seis Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS... Mart, Mike's 'groan' barely scratches the surface. I have a couple of photographs of Piccadilly Circus that made me wince when I thought of your quip. I shall never be able to look at them in quite the same way again! Now, if you'd been taking the name of the Mudchester Piccadilly in vain, that would be a different matter. But please don't misunderstand me, to call it 'awful' would be high praise indeed! :) Arturo Mart wrote: > D**n - you beat me to Lilly's "Circus" link, HL.

Guest Mike M Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS... So, two replies, virtually identical, one posted to the microsoft.public.windowsme.general newsgroup on the news.microsoft.com newserver and the other to the same newsgroup but on the msnews.microsoft.com news server and, lo and behold, both messages appear on both servers. From the headers, the posting paths are identical news.microsoft.com Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:16:46 +0100 Path: TK2MSFTNGP01.phx.gbl!TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl msnews.microsoft.com Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:20:55 +0100 Path: TK2MSFTNGP01.phx.gbl!TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl Proving, to me at least, that the two news servers addresses are in fact the same server. Jeanette, Your problem has to be local to your PC and I feel is probably hiding somewhere in your registry in the HKCU\Identities\{ big ugly number }\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 key, most likely somewhere in the Rules\News sub-key. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com jeanette <jeany@lostincyber.com> wrote: >> news.microsoft.com is the same server as msnews.microsoft.com

My greatest talent is that not only can I make a worst fist of things than most, I can do it far cheaper!! Why pay huge salaries to the politicians and the barons of industry? The going-rate? Just unnecessary and I'd throw in a 37.5 hr. week with no golden goodbye clause at no extra cost. What a bargain! However the spectre of a big top in Mudchester's Piccadilly Circus can only be a sight to behold.

Jeanette, I don't. <vbg> You are however posting using Outlook Express and the registry key(s) I mentioned are where the rules are located be it OE5, OE5,5 or OE6 that you are using. From the headers of your post X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 which tells me that you are using Outlook Express 6, not fully patched however as the latest version for use with Win Me would show X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1478. 6.00.2800.1106 is the version that is part of IE6 SP1 (released late 2002) but without the subsequent Cumulative Security patches for OE, the last of which was released in April 2004 [KB837009, MS04-013: Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express] which takes OE to 6.00.2800.1409. To go to 6.00.2800.1478 would mean you then installing the later Cumulative Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 [KB887797] that was released in December 2004. Incidentally I am NOT saying that installing the missing patches would solve the problem you are seeing. Likewise I'm not suggesting you dive in to the registry. Unfortunately I'm at a loss as to what to suggest to help you as we seem to have explored all avenues. -- Mike M jeanette <jeany@lostincyber.com> wrote: > huuuuuuuuuuuge siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh,,, in that case, > i have no answers at all. the last time i posted here, all was fine, > this time, its all kaput. > i am not a 'registry' person and wouldnt even know what to look for. > thanks for your time mike > > J > > oh,, one thing tho'.. why do you feel my problem has anything to > do o/e 5? as mentioned above re: registry.
