Thanks to a hint from a responder, I tried turning off the pop-up blocker on
the tools menu when I wanted to start a new thread and, lo and behold, here I
am with a blank screen. Thanks all!

That's great, but you still aren't using this resource to its full
capacity since you are posting via the web interface, which is awful.
Learn to use a real newsreader. Here is information to help you with

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:
