Script errors in Outlook Help

I have been trying to use Outlook as my Newsgroup reader. However, there is
no "News" item under my GO menu. Each time I try to run my help fine to
find out HOW to add "News" to my GO menu it comes up with a script error and
offers to let me debug it, which I am not able to do. After that, HELP will
not open at all.

I would appreciate assistance in how to correct my Help system, and how to
add "News" to my GO menu.

To get the News command back, go back 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
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
