This is neither a forum, nor a chat room; it's a Usenet newsgroup.

Welcome. (What you've made is actually a post, not an account; since you
referred to it as a forum, I suspect what you've done is open an account
with something - such as Google news - that allows you to post. [Yours
seems to be something called "londonbanter", I think.] If you find
usenet is for you, you may find use via a more conventional means - i.
e. a news client, such as Outlook Express, and a news server, such as
your ISP's one if it provides one or eternal-september or one of the
others if not - a better way of using newsgroups; but stay and join in a
while anyway [though see next paragraph for advice].)

What Bruce meant by "not a chat room" is that it's usual - and, sort of,
preferred - to only make postings related to the name of the newsgroup:
in this case, to ask a question about Windows XP, or give advice when
someone else has done so and you know an answer. If you've been
"lurking" for a while, you'll have seen the "flavour" of the 'group; all
'groups have their own character (and characters!).

But welcome, anyway: usenet needs all the support it can get IMO!

(If you decide to investigate accessing usenet in a more conventional
manner, that's exactly the sort of thing to ask about in this particular
newsgroup: not that it won't have been asked before, but this _is_ a
'group for new users, and I for one will help, or try to!)
