What the hell is up with RSS Feeds for the sidebar It never updates I have 3
PCs and all are the same. The only time they update is when You create
another user. Other than that all I see is the same old news what a piece of
crap

I thought RSS software was a 3rd party solution, not a MS solution?

It is annoying -- I set up the feed from msn weather, and now I have 2 weeks
of 'current conditions'. They never leave. Going to the options allows me to
select 1 feed or all feeds and there are a bunch of msn spam feeds that I
don't want (and can't figure out how to get rid of).

hit search
select the station you want then hit OK

I guess Microsoft not getting ANYthing right was a lie, huh?


Over reacting is not a good problem solving tool.

Hehe. Just part of the Windoze experience. Pure incompetency.

You do know that the settings for the feeds are controlled and configured in
Internet Explorer. They are also subject to the way they are set up on the
providing web server.
