C# 2008 - no news feed on Home page

My newly installed Visual C# 2008 is failing to show the "Visual C#
Developer News". It says:

"The current news channel might not be a valid RSS feed, or your internet
connection might be unavailable." Well, the internet connection is just
fine - I've tested it extensively, including some other RSS sources. It
then says:

"To change the news channel, on the tools menu, click Options, then expand
Environment and click Startup."

Except that there isn't a Startup inside Options.

Any thoughts on how I can make it work again? Anyone else getting the same
problem?

Thanks,

SteveT

Check the show all settings box (lower left) on the options page.

Brilliant! Thank you.

Mine says: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=85889&clcid=409

When I paste the above into IE7, it immediately brings up a page, but with a
different URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/feeds/msdn/...expressvcs.xml

If I put that into the relevant place in the Startup options it works OK.
Any idea why the original doesn't? Should it be OK to leave it with the
...../feeds/... path instead?

Thanks,

SteveT

It seems to be coming up fine now.
