unable to read the body of the post in the message pane.

[Guest]

I tried expand a thread, clicking anywhere on a collapsed thread (thread with
a plus sign next to it) but I cann't read the body of the first post in the
message pane.
This happen when I search for a subject, Also I am unable to reply. Any help
will be appreciated.

Don't use the web interface. It's lousy. Try a newsreader. XP comes
with one, Outlook Express. There are others too. Here is a link on how
to set up OE for newsgroups:

Rock, Thanks. I use to post and read threads discussions in Windows XP
General and Discussions in Internet Explorer 6 General, how can I get these
specific discussions with Outlook Express News Reader. I already set OE for
newsgroup.
In the web interface I see the subject, the threads and msgs. can I see all
these with OE news reader.

In OE go to Tools | Accounts | Add (or New) | News.
Set up an account for this news server:

msnews.microsoft.com

The server is free and does not require you to logon. This news server
carries over 2200 newsgroups related to Microsoft products and keeps
messages at least 30 days.

For more detail see
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm

With the news server set up you will get a list of newsgroups when you
finish. Type windowsxp.general in the top box.

You can also get this list by right clicking the server in the Folder List
and clicking Newsgroups.
