Try running outlook express and adding the news server news.microsoft.com,
then look for your forum of choice.

Never used Outlook for forums, not here where forum is working nor in Xp.
Never will. I assume you are saying that it will no longer work unless
Outlook is
used. So much for support & customer satisfaction.

Will,

I was referring to Outlook Express.

No. Using a newsreader is easier IMO and offers many options, than using the
Web interface. It's your choice anyway.

I did not think that you could configure Outlook to read Usenet
Newsgroup postings. I prefer Thunderbird over Outlook Express, but
Windows Mail is also very good.
