Problem with Win98.....
Hi Heather, I *think* the link you are after is :-
news.microsoft.com set up in OE under Tools | Accounts \ Mail (remembering to munge your email address) Then choose the news groups you want HTH Mart "Heather" wrote in message ... HUH?? That is not the link. And I am using Outlook Express, not IE. I used to have it saved, so it is something like "news at microsoft dot ?" "Corday" wrote in message ... Microsoft Discussion Groups Home. With IE it should show on left of screen. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics! "Heather" wrote: OK....heading out, but she just told me she had AVG and SpywareBlaster on there. She took AVG off and wonders what to replace SB with. I will talk to her tomorrow cuz I am heading out. Thanks..... "Heather" wrote in message ... Hi All.....the following message was posted to me on a non MS news group. I wondered if any of you could help because I absolutely cannot remember how to access the MS news groups in toto.....or as a newbie......the link one clicks on to get to the MS news groups. Any thoughts?? Or a link?? I guess I could post it to one of the 98 groups. Tks.....Heather --------------------------------- Heather, I've got a problem. Started a week or so again. Win 98 On boot, error messages, Occurred in this sequence. Missing or corrupted display.sys c:\windows\command Missing or corrupted system.dat c:\windows\command they each happened several times, but I managed to get it to boot by turning off, then back on, each time. This a.m. Missing or corrupted config.sys c:\windows\command Edit line 1 and 2 I have 3 config.sys files in various locations. The most recent is dated 2005 inc:\windows\command There's only 2 lines in them. I don't know what to edit??? My gut says that area of the hard drive is corrupted, but not sure. If I rename the file, then make a copy with correct name, will the new one go back to the corrupted area? or somewhere else I should be looking at config.sys? J |

Problem with Win98.....
THAT'S IT!!!!! The first one. But if I want to get the general slew of
news groups, I would take out the last half?? I want to get her to the 98 ones. IOW, I need the link for the Microsoft News Group Server or some such, so that she can access all gazillion of them.

Problem with Win98.....
I think that is sort of it. Probably I have to put MS in front of that.
I will mess with it later. Just want to get to the server for MS. So I can give her the whole bunch of MS groups. Does that make sense?? She knows a lot, but I don't know Win98, so figure she can find out what she needs on one of the 98 ng's. Trying to talk her into upgrading, but not quite sure what the problem is. Thanks Mart....Heather OK.....took the first half of George's link and that is the one!! news://msnews.microsoft.com This will now get saved once again, grin. "Mart" wrote in message ...

Once you have your MS Newsgroup account in Outlook Express, there are numerous ways to see the list of Newsgroups that are available, here's 3 of them. 1, Click the whacking great big 'Newsgroup' icon on the top toolbar. 2, Tools Newsgroups. 3, Ctrl+W George Gee "Heather" wrote in message ...

Figgles,
Jim Eshelman used to - and probably still does - have a list of the MS news groups at aumha.org, that you can find easily enough from the index page. Click the one you want and it opens in OE. Useful in certain circumstances. Arturo "Heather" wrote in message ... THAT'S IT!!!!! The first one. But if I want to get the general slew of news groups, I would take out the last half??

Problem with Win98.....
Gracias, Arturo......the problem is/was that I was going to have to
explain on a totally different news group as an off-topic message to my friend how she could access the MS ng's and then how to find the ones she wanted. And as she prefers to remain anonymous for good reasons, I suppose....I can't write her at home via email. But you guys eventually got what I was asking. I just didn't explain myself very well.

Problem with Win98.....
Not as easy to find as it used to be, but take a look sometime, Figgs:
http://aumha.org/support.php#msng As I recall - can't test it now as I'm in Linux - you click the link, it opens in and downloads into OE, then when you close it you're asked if you want to subscribe to the group. When you say "I do" you'll have the Microsoft server set up automatically and, if you want to end it you have to go to Reno. Though I might have that last bit wrong.
