How to 'load' 98 Newsgroup on O.E.

[maligold]

Hi:
my friend has '98 and she wants to have '98' general discussion
here, O.E.

She tried as follows;
Tools < Newsgroup < typed: microsoft.public.windows98 general

The box saying ; 'There is NO such newsgroup.'

How to load/get,,,, '98' Microsoft Newsgroup here, Outlook Express
for 'easy reading?' Also, other older form of Newsgroups, such as 'Me'
even '95' and any other 'older' Microsoft group on Outlook Express, if
they are still existing here, O.E.

Thanks,

Have her click on the following link (or Copy/Paste it into IE Addressbar
and click GO) to open the newsgroup in her default newsreader:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion

Thanks,

Try microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion. When you are logged onto
msnews.microsoft.com in Outlook Express, click on the Newsgroup icon and
type: microsoft.public.win98 in the display box and you will get a list of
others.

Thanks,

Here's a list that your friend might find helpful:

Microsoft Public Newsgroups
http://aumha.org/nntp.php

There's a listing for win98 gen discussion. That may be what
she's looking for. Also, when she clicks on Tools ->
Newsgroups, type win98 to display all the Windows 98 newsgroups
that are available. For ME enter windowsme in the search box.

Good luck

Hi:
Thanks for your response.

I really appreciate it, because she just came to the room and asking me
whether the post went. I thought this post went to the 'Outlook Express
General,' but there was NO mine. Went to different place, XP General.

Either way, since we got the response/answer for this, it doesn't matter.
But, from now on, I must be careful which place I should put a post.

Thanks a lot,

Thanks,

As a guess, your friend was typing the name of the group wrong. She left
out a period between "windows98" and "general". Here is a list of all
the MS newsgroups:

http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

The server is msnews.microsoft.com and no username/password is required.

Hi:
Her computer is a 'dinasour' form of computer. But, it works and runs good
like a new.

Since she does not like to change from 98 to XP, I said it must be VERY
tough to get
any help from XP, ... but luckily there were some of OLD programs existing
here, O.E.

I was VERY surprised for this existence.
But, at the same time, we are REALLY happy to get one.

Thanks,

You're welcome.

You can do that too.
But basically it has to be typed or generated from a newsgroup properties to
copy and paste the link. Nothing mysterious about the shortcut. At some
point the text was typed into the data base and maybe it was only typed
once, but it was entered into a data base.
