===========================
Maybe you are accessing the newsgroups
from the Microsoft server:

msnews.microsoft.com

Try setting up an account using the Comcast server:

Proceed at your own risk

In Windows Mail in Vista, the Microsoft newsserver is automatically
configured so you can immediately get help on MS products. If you want
other newsgroups then you need to set up another newsserver via Tools |
Accounts | Add | News and then fill in the required parameters. That will
give you the newsgroups provided via your ISP.
