I am running Vista. Whenever I open Help in Gravity, I get error 1037.

there. Now I unsubscribed from the group, then resubscribed, and I
cannot get headers.

Thanks for replying. I did all of that (all but the first was done),
closed the program, reopened, still no headers. The bottom left of the
activity bar says 0/0 and is flickering. If I right click the
newsgroup and select Retrieve Headers, something momentarily appears
in the section of the bar to the right of the 0/0, then disappears,
and 0/0 keeps flickering.

It shouldn't be that hard. Just a guess, but you could be having
problems with write permision or Vista UAC if you installed in Program
Files. You could try installing in another directory like C:\programs
and keep it out of Program Files. Are you installing with an admin
account?

As I said, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and the headers then
appeared. I just did the same thing but with Run as Administrator, and
again I now have the headers. I'll try later to download headers, but
I think it will work. Perhaps I'll be ok so long as I don't
unsubscribe. Now the headers show 2171/2171, but they are still
flickering. Perhaps that's normal. I am going to try subscribing to
another group and see what happens.

What newsgroup are you having trouble with? Do you have the filters set
to show all messages, unread messages?
