news groups in outlook 2003

Z

Z.K.

After I upgraded to outlook 2003 I can no longer use outlook to view my
newsgroups. There is a news button on the toolbar, but it just opens up
a folder named 1033. How can I get my news groups to work? I can
start up oulook express okay, but it is no longer integrated into
Outlook anymore.

To fix the issue, either open up IE and go to 'Tools|Internet
Options|Programs' and select Outlook Express as your default Newsgroup
program, or just open up Outlook Express and select yes when it asks you if
you want to make Outlook Express the default News Reader. The News button
should work the next time you open Outlook.

Ok, thanks a lot. It seems a bit weird though that it would not
automatically make outlook express its default newsgroup reader since it
was before I upgraded, but in any case it works now. Thanks again.
