Vista newsgroups

[marjay]

I'm using Agent as my newsreader and I loaded all the newsgroups but
cannot find any microsoft.publc.Vista groups... any ideas??

You kidding? go to msnews.microsoft.com and have a ball!!

You have it written wrong so that may be the reason.
Instead of:
microsoft.publc.Vista
Try
microsoft.public.windows.vista

What newsreader you use is irrelevant. What news *server* you use, however,
is pertinent. It's possible that the server you're using doesn't carry them,
but you can certainly get all the Vista newsgroups at msnews.microsoft.com.

Also note that it's microsoft.public.vista..., not microsoft.publc.Vista. If
you are using the same misspelling of "public" in looking for them, that's
why you can't find them.

I assume you mean using Outlook Express as the newsreader...
for some reason its corrupted on my system and I can't seem to repair
it... is there another way to get to msnews.microsoft.com??
