Please don't make a new post for the same question without waiting at
least 24 hours. I answered your first post. Search for your name. You
will have an easier time using these newsgroups if you set up a
newsreader. Here is information to help you with that:

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 since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:
