I was trying to post a question and nothig was happening until I noticed a

line on the bottom of the screen saying I should hold down "Ctrl" if I wanted

to let a popup occur. I did and then it worked. Before that I was saying

really bad things about Microsoft. But I was the real reason it did nto

work. A comment.

even better - use a proper news reader instead of the awful web access....

 

You will get a far better "experience" by dumping the horrible web interface

and using a proper news reader instead. You already have one on your

machine - Outlook Express prior to Windows Vista and Windows Mail and News

in Vista.

 

See this on how to set up Outlook express as your news reader: (I expect

Windows mail and News is horribly similar....)
