When I go to "News" in Outlook 2003, all I see is a list of files. How
can I correct this so I can get to the news groups?

Thanks much...Keith
 
I have the same problem. But now the News command has disappeared from the
Go menu and I cannot put it back. I now start Outlook Express directly.
 
It's a known issue. Try the following -- it seems to work for many:

Go to the Programs tab in Control Panel | Internet Options and change the
default newsreader to Outlook Express. If OE prompts you to make it your
default newsreader the next time you launch it, clear the "Always perform
this check..." box and then click the No button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/newsonly switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
