Difficulty Accessing This Particular Forum

I consistently experience difficulty accessing this particular forum, i.e.
"Sorry, the page you requested is not available." I have a broadband
connection, but nevertheless it seems to time out...anybody else having the
same/similar experience. Other Community Newsgroups don't seem to have this
same problem? Can't be the volume, can it?

Do you access directly with something like Outlook Express and are you going
directly to news.microsoft.com?

I'm accessing www.microsoft.com utilizing Internet Explorer as my Browser and
accessing this Forum utilizing the Support layers to be found at that
site...is there a better way?

I now recall doing something like what you describe when I was accessing the
Microsoft Forums with a little more frequency...wouldn't hurt to try once
again and see if indeed that is a better way...thanks for your input.

fix/patch for IE7 before I go there?

Your ISP:
OrgName: Qwest Communications Corporation
OrgID: QCC-22
Address: 1801 California Street
City: Denver
StateProv: CO
PostalCode: 80202
Country: US

The NNTP headers are below my signature.
I have no idea what MS CDO for W2K might possible be.

People access NNTP groups either throght google groups
and their favorite browser or via an NNTP server via
their ISP. I am using my ISP's NNTP server and
forteinc freeagent client
there are others

I know this is rather geeky answer but it is 100% accurate.

Yes, a little too technical for me...so far accessing this Forum through the
Microsoft Outlook Newsreader seems to be helping, but thanks anyway.

Yes, Outlook is both an email ( SMTP / POP ) client and NNTP client.
Netscape can be used. Mozilla Thunderbird also. Someone told you how
to configure Outlook I presume. There are 1000's of NNTP groups or if
you prefer forums. It means Net News Transport Protocol. Careful as
some of it (NNTP) is not childproof (eg porn).

Have fun

Nit: Outlook does email as well as calendar, contacts, and notes. Outlook
Express does email and newsgroups. Is there some link between Outlook (not
Express) and newsgroups of which I'm unaware?

You can run Outlook Express in newsreader-only mode by starting it using
'/news' as a command-line parameter.

There is a way to add "News" to the Outlook tool bar - all it does FWIW is
call OE.
