MS Outlook newsreader problems

[dave brown]

HELP
I run outlook for e-mail and outlook newsreader for newsgroups.
I have a problem in that whenever I open outlook newsreader, I can only see
the last 5 or 6 headers. Bottom left of my screen says things like "4 unread
24 not downloaded".
I used to see weeks if not months of headers before I moved over to a new
pc.
Anyone know where my problem is.
(For example within a couple of days I'll not be able to view this post
anymore).
I haven't been able to determine wether it's a date thing or not but this
could be a possibility.
Here's hoping
Thanks
Dave.

As you say - Outlook uses Outlook EXPRESS for newsgroups. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

As Gordon says, Outlook Express is your newsreader so in that program, on
the Tools, Options dialogue is a Read tab with a News section. Uncheck the
"Get [number] headers" box or increase number to a reasonable amount. You
use OE6 so it may be a bit different from my OE 5.5
