I am a new XP user needing asisstance with several issues and I am unable to
access my replies to posts in the XP discussions via Entourage. I click on
the link in email message and receive the following error message: "The
system cannot find the file specified." I have to go to MS home page>Log
in>search Support> etc...please advise; I am spending more time looking for
my posts than addressing issues!
 
Hi there: Sorry to forget some info:
Yes, I am on mac 10.3.9 with Entourage 10.1.4...I have beenn able to access
up til a few days ago. Do I need to upgrade Entourage (re link below)? There
is another link for watching threads just beneath the View Post link; when I
click on that I get to a MS page but an error message across top says Page
Cannot be Found...
Many thanks
 
Beats me. You can write everything that I know about Macs on the inside of
a matchbook with a grease pencil.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader.

Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

explanation of newsgroups

You'll have to Google around for newsreaders for Mac.

I don't know much about Macs but Google can help you.

The news server to set up is called msnews.microsoft.com. This news group is
called microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
