Try downloading Thunderbird from Mozilla. It's miles better than Outhouse in any case. However, I think you'll find that the problem isn't OE, it's whichever newsfeed you're connecting to, which is largely down to your ISP. -- AJH alpha dot hotel echo yankee whisky oscar oscar delta at tango echo sierra charlie oscar dot november echo tango |

Check your internet options tab on your computer: someone might have
accidentally changed the settings! Cynthia "Pat" wrote in message news:gxZXd.7017$Wy.5438@okepread02... My news reader on Outlook Express just informed me that I can no longer get the alt.sewing group!!!! Can someone tell me how to get another reader??.....or something??....... |

I doubt that it's directly an OE problem, before you panic call your ISP and
see if they have changed news service provider or if you've somehow 'bumped' a setting. I know some people have a lot of problems getting the newsgroups using Outlook Express but it's actually more a problem with their ISP's news source than the OE program. I've been accessing numerous newsgroups, both alt and binary on OE since I changed to my present ISP. I've been using the OE news reader for over 6 years without a hitch; they use SuperNews for their Usenet outsourcing. Val "Pat" wrote in message news:gxZXd.7017$Wy.5438@okepread02...

Oddly enough, this happened to me a few weeks ago. A few groups I always
read disappeared. I contacted my ISP and they told me to "refresh" the newsgroup list on Outlook Express and it would be there. It was.
