Sorry for such a stupid question!
My OE6 is linked to a few XP groups. I want to find and link to some Vista
groups. )I even know what one of them is called.)
Please; how do I do this. I can only get OE to display about 5 groups
including the three I am linked to and cannot get OE to search a wider range
of newsgroups.

Thanks
Derek

Since you are already using OE, this is easy.

Click on the Newsgroups button. Make sure the "All" tab is selected.
Click "Reset List" if you haven't done so in a while. Then in the box up
top that says "Display newsgroups which contain," type Vista. Scroll
down to where the groups (which are alphabetical) begin with
"microsoft.public.windows.vista."

You'll see a whole bunch, including
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

Or just click on this link!:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vista.general

HTH.

Vista-specific newsgroups include:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_acco unts_passwords
microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management
microsoft.public.windows.vista.games
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_assessment
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail
microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_vide o
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing
microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_mainten ance
microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security

Click on of the following links to open the newsgroup in your default
newsreader:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...unts_passwords
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ile_management
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ws.vista.games
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vista.general
