This would be really helpful if somewhere the solution was given. I have the
same problem but I don't find a way to solve it on this site. Not so nice
really.
Does anybody in Microsoft read these posts? They should offer the solution!

No, this is not a "site" and Microsoft doesn't have a presence here. This is
a public newsgroup hosted on Microsoft servers. You are using the dreadful
web interface to Usenet newsgroups (see below for a better way to access
these groups) and this is a peer-to-peer newsgroup offering technical
support by volunteers who do not work for Microsoft. Occasionally an MS
employee may post here but that is the exception rather than the rule. If
you didn't get an answer to a question (and I wasn't following this thread
so don't know your question), refer to the "How To Post" section below for
possible reasons why you didn't.

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 (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
