Don't bother. You are accessing global usenet newsgroups by the worst method
ever.
use a News reader. You already have one on your machine - outlook Express.

How to set up OE as a News reader:

Hello, I assume Microsoft is changing this program.
I did the following; clicked on "profile icon" when profile page appeared I
did not change anything and clicked on "close profile", this returned me to
the news group with my sign in name.
Hope it works for you.
take care.

In the web interface here, all you do to sign is click on "Reply" to a post,
and you go to the sign-in window.

Where/What is the "Profile Icon" or does it apply only if you are not
using or have OE set up as a news reader? TIA

Hello, My post was in reply to "grandad" a Microsoft Web-based Newsreader
user.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...reader.mspx?dg
Working without problem today.
Some people do not care for this reader.
I tend to use several different news readers for different reasons and
appreciate all the newsreaders.
take care.
beamish.

My sign-in button isn't there either. I just clicked on "new" so I could post
a question, when that screen came up, I closed it off and then I was signed
in. The Sign Out button is there though. Strange.

You may find it easier to use a proper newsreader for newsgroups
instead of that quirky and slow web interface.
