Hi again, all

As you might have gathered, I still can't reply to the NG! Thanks for the
offers of advice so far. I have changed the news server but still nothing.
I'm beginning to think it might not be the server but a problem with my pc?

I have added a link to my site showing what appears when I try to reply to
the ng. It says nothing but someone might recognise what the problem is when
viewing it!

Follow the link to my homepage and click on the 'error message' link to

Looks like you can't copy a screen dump either :)


Seriously though - have you thought about trying with another
Newsreader? Try Mozilla Thunderbird. If it still doesn't work, it's your
server.

LOL!

Sorry, no idea. You could try downloading Agent from
http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php there's a free version as
well as a pay version - I switched to the pay one but I can't remember
what the feature was I thought worth the money. But if nothing else,
you'll see if it's an Outlook error or something coming from NTL.

Bizarre. I've asked in the Shed. They seem to know the answers to most
things between them... Watch this space.

Agent is now at V3, which I can not vouch for, because I have not
downloaded it yet. V1.932 and V2 are IMO OK.

Actually it's just as simple (if you have nothing stored forever that
you care about) to delete the .dbx file and let OE recreate it. You'll
find it (and all the others you have viewed in your online life!!)
(assuming you have 'show system and hidden files' turned on) at:

"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{long security ID string}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\"

but getting a decent newsreader (Outhouse Express need not apply) is a
much better idea.

Is it? I stuck with 1.93, didn't bother with the pay-for 'upgrade' to
V2 which was little more than a few bug fixes. I may investigate V3
though.

Hi All,

I think this should make it through (fingers crossed)

Hi All

Looks as though I'm up and running again! Tried your suggestion Fran but no
luck I'm afraid. I decided to try a system restore, most of which didn't
make any difference, but eventually one of them did! It seems to be working
ok now. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Much appreciated.

Hi Paul,

Sorry to hear about the problems. Have you tried a new newsreader? You
can d/load Free Agent from www.forteinc.com.

Weird... Try another newsreader :)

Best wishes,

I'm using it, and quite like it so far. If you try it out, though, I'd
suggest you evaluate it first as a clean install to a new directory,
rather than an upgrade: some people on the Agent NG don't seem to like
it very much :)

Best wishes,

Hi Peewiglet :eek:)

Thanks for the info and link. A couple of newsreaders have been suggested
and I will be having a closer look at the all.
