Apologize if posted twice but wasn't here after 30 minutes

A setting has changed? Now when I hold down/drag a window to another
location - I only see the bounder outline of the window, while dragging. How
come? I used to see the the entire contents of the window while dragging it.

Thanks
Jean

Original post was 23 minutes prior to this one. You might want to consider
using a newsreader to access what are actually Usenet newsgroups. The
experience is much better. XP comes with Outlook Express. Here is a link
with info on how to set that up for newsgroup access.

ROCK, you actually have the time to COUNT the number of minutes between my
posts! AND then have the nerve to correct Me? Further, you are answering off
subject area and into a different zone. I believe, that you are in need of of
serious help.

Not so hard to see the time difference. Windows Mail displays the date and
time of the posts, and I can see both your posts in the same window. It's
easy enough to subtract.

I gave you the time difference to make it easier for you to find your
previous post since Bob I, who posted before me, stated he replied to your
previous post.

I'm not sure how you got the impression that I was correcting anything. I
was giving you info on how to have a better newsgroup experience so you
wouldn't have to waste time looking around for posts you can't find, because
you're using the awful web interface.

The choice is up to you, of course, to not recognize help when it's being
offered. In any event wallow in the muck, or reach out to some fresh air.

Good luck.

that's what our resident net nanny, roxanne, does.
your post has to meet his approval for content, grommet, punctuation, english or news group, oh and clock setting.

he has to keep his name in light often enough to keep up with mvp status next year and getting the FREE full msdn membership.
