Re: need some help - please

OK Outlook express page,, Click Tools, click Accounts, click News,
click Add, follow the page until you have completed all the stuff for rego,
see other posts. above for instuctions on this.
You will then see a new entry in the Folders section of Outlook
express,
"news. [isp name].com Click on this, You will get a Synchronization of
Newsgroup page, Click on middle tab, Newsgroups, You will get a screen up,
do you want to load newsgroups, Click Yes, and your ISP will start to load
them.
The number depends of your ISP, When it's finished loading [ takes a few
minutes] above the list there is a search box, type in Aquaria. A list of
groups will appear below, click on the ones you want, then click
Keep//retain. When they have loaded, click on the newsgroup icon in the
folders collum, and this time click the Synchronize account box again, all
your news groups will list, click in
new messages only box, Then right click the newsgroup in the folders
section and click, "catch Up" failure to do this will load ALL the posts
from day One. Then next time you visit, you will only load the new posts...
It's quite easy, even the Dog can do it..
