Web Based Newsreader

[Tony]

Hi: I asked this question before but never quite got the answer I was
looking for.

For some reason I can't read the messages on the MS Newsgroups with the web
based reader. The messages are there and I can expand the threads but when
I click on the actual message to read it. Nothing.

There must be some setting in IE that is wrong. I would rather not use OE
(as I am doing here), or add another reader to my computer for many reasons.
If anyone has a fix for this I would appreciate it.

Tony

Hi Tony,

You may need to reinstall the scripting engine:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0A8A18F6-249C-4A72-BFCF-FC6AF26DC390&displaylang=en
and get version 5.6 and install it.

Hello Rick: Thanks for the suggestion. I loaded the scripting engine and
it partly imporoved the situation. Now I can read the help page which I
could not before, but I am still not able to get the messages to open. They
expand but will not open.

I still get the yellow shield with error on page at the bottom.

I am using Win XP Pro sp2. Any other suggestions?

Tony

Yeah, here's a suggestion: Why not use a 'real' newsreader instead of that
kludgy web interface? You've got one on your computer already: Outlook
Express. Once you start using a dedicated newsreader, any dedicated
newsreader, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with the kludgy web
interface. To borrow from the beer commercial: "Come out of the cold, and
into the bold."

No I'm starting at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers&lang=en&cr=US

When I use the link you listed and try to click on the Web News Reader link
it attempts to download instead of opening. If I change to MS IE, I get an
error message that IE can't open the page.

I have a laptop running the same programs and it is ok. When I compare the
settings of the two computers they are the same.

I'm using OE for this but I find it is not as convenient for me as the web
based reader.

Most people find it the other way around - OE is far more convenient than
the web interface!
