in [Windows XP]

From: Jeff on 9 Jul 2010 16:25 After I replied to a question in another discussion group the area where the questions should be is blank. The rest of the page is there and functional. This is one of the few groups that I can still see the questions. What is going on and how do I correct it. -- Thanks for your help.

You would have to ask MS or use a newsreader. No one here uses the Web interface to access newsgroups. There are plenty, but I use Eternal September and all the 'removed' newsgroups are available.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 9 Jul 2010 16:41 See http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx IE General, OE General, OE6, Windows Update, Win98 General, & WLMessenger were some of the newsgroups dropped late last week. Here's Google Groups archive of what might have been your thread in Windows Update newsgroup: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_frm/thread/6ca73e54c74cb0f With the demise of Windows Update newsgroup, you will find continuing support in this MS forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads. State your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) as well as your current IE version (e.g., IE6, IE7, IE8) in your first post. => NB: The Windows Update newsgroup threads were NOT ported over to the Windows Update forum. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 Jeff wrote: > After I replied to a question in another discussion group the area where > the > questions should be is blank.

From: Jeff on 18 Jul 2010 16:32 I was happy to see that it was you that resonded to this question. You were the one to whom I was sending the other reply too when it went blank. I was having problems with Outloook Express 6, and you were correct the computer did come with Norton installed and I upgraded to a better version and after a few years it quit updating. I contacted Norton tech support and yes we ran a removal tool. It wasn't long after that, that I started having problems with my email. I know you respond to a lot of question I am hoping you half way remember mine. My question I was repling to you about had to do with one of the steps you said I needed to do, you had given me a list of things to do. I folllowed everything you said to do and went to the links you provided. (I wish I had the reply in front of me so I could get the wording correct). On step 4 you said I needed to go to (I think you called it) Microsoft Explorer? There I was to find the address where all emails are stored and delete the files outbox. dbx, sent items dbx, and deleted items dbx. I was not sure where you were talking about so with so help from the Help section I figured out to go to My Computer and right click and go to Explorer. There I scrolled down till I found the address that I was looking for. There were some 21 files there and I looked in everyone of them and didn't find anything outbox. dbx (ect). Either I am not in the right spot or something. Yes I followed the links about how to find the adress and show hidden files. I am hoping you remember me and my question. If not I will gladly retype the original question, it was sent sometime around July 4th. I'm running XP sp3 all updated, Outlook Express 6, Internet Explore 8. All of your help in this matter has been and is GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thank You so much. Jeff -- Thanks for your help.

Here's the Google Groups archive of your 25 June 2010 thread in Windows Update newsgroup (which MS dropped from their newsserver shortly after 01 July): http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_frm/thread/6ca73e54c74cb0f NB: If a copy of the message is found in Sent Items, the problem lies somewhere outside of OE; e.g., NAV's needless scanning of outgoing mail - even Symantec says it's not necessary... <QP> Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions. </QP> http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2002111812533106 Jeff wrote: > I was happy to see that it was you that resonded to this question.
