You are accessing these groups via a website that hoovers off Usenet
postings. The link posted above does nothing for me. Consider accessing
Usenet directly, with a newsreader. This is very easy to do and here is
information about that.

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:

Now, for your problem - since we know nothing about your computer or
what you've already done to troubleshoot, here are some links that may
help:
