Hi, Marc - Unfortunately no one knows to whom you are writing since you are
not posting on a real forum as you think you are and you didn't quote any
of the thread to which you are replying. Therefore none of us can help you
with your problem. You are using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts
and most of the rest of us are using real newsreaders. We don't see what
you do. If you want to participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a
newsreader. This is very easy to do and I'll give you information about
that below. If you prefer to use a real forum, then here are two excellent
ones:

http://http://computerhaven.info/

If you'd like help from this newsgroup, please make sure to visit at least
some of the links in the "How to Post" section and then come back with all
pertinent details. We'd love to help but you need to give us something with
which to work. :)

Since you are using a 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. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
