How to get OE to a Vista newsgroup

[Guest Derek Harvey]

Sorry for such a stupid question!

My OE6 is linked to a few XP groups. I want to find and link to some Vista

groups. )I even know what one of them is called.)

Please; how do I do this. I can only get OE to display about 5 groups

including the three I am linked to and cannot get OE to search a wider range

of newsgroups.

 

Thanks

Derek

Since you are already using OE, this is easy.

 

Click on the Newsgroups button. Make sure the "All" tab is selected.

Click "Reset List" if you haven't done so in a while. Then in the box up

top that says "Display newsgroups which contain," type Vista. Scroll

down to where the groups (which are alphabetical) begin with

"microsoft.public.windows.vista."

 

You'll see a whole bunch, including

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

 

Or just click on this link!:

Perhaps you should ask in a group with OE in the title, and also notic

THIS group lacks that.

 

Ask elsewhere
