Don't blame Microsoft all the time

[Gary Masters]

I was trying to post a question and nothig was happening until I noticed a
line on the bottom of the screen saying I should hold down "Ctrl" if I wanted
to let a popup occur. I did and then it worked. Before that I was saying
really bad things about Microsoft. But I was the real reason it did nto
work. A comment.

even better - use a proper news reader instead of the awful web access....

You will get a far better "experience" by dumping the horrible web interface
and using a proper news reader instead. You already have one on your
machine - Outlook Express prior to Windows Vista and Windows Mail and News
in Vista.

See this on how to set up Outlook express as your news reader: (I expect
Windows mail and News is horribly similar....)
