For some reason, all newsgroup posting after approx. 9:50pm on May 21st, in
all my
subscribed newsgroups, will not display in OE 6. The message:
Message could not be displayed
Outlook Express encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
Some of the things I've tried....delete/compact in OE, set screen resolution
and dpi back to where it was (grasping for straws!), tried to do a system
restore (2 different restore points but Windows reported that the system
could not be restored to either point....looks like I discovered another
problem :o Ran a Disk Clean up, Registry Mechanic and searched GoogleGroups
for the answer.



Can someone tell me what's going on? Hopefully I'll be able to read the
responses on GoogleGroups. This is a brand new Dell Dimension 8400, 3.2ghz
with 1gb of SDRAM. Kinda doubt I'm low on memory :)

Thanks,

Monica

Problem solved. Stayed up ALL night trying figure out what was wrong with
my NEW machine and it was the stupid cox newsgroup server (altho they
haven't admitted it yet). Using east.cox now instead of central and all is
well :)

Although my ISP servers (news.sf.sbcglobal.net) carries a number of the
MSFT groups, I don't use it for the MSFT groups. I find that, for the MSFT
groups, it is better to use MSFT's own NNTP server: msnews.microsoft.com.

MS Outlook Express can easily be set up to use more than one news service.
