I have seen what may be similar issues in the past, however, haven't seen a
resolution that works for me.
I have Windows XP, SP2 with Internet Explorer 7, running Outlook Express 6,
and have created a newsgroup account, and subscribed to several Newsgroups.
An example is: microsoft.public.pocketpc.ebooks
The newsgroup does show up in the list, however, when attempting to open the
newsgroup to see actual messages, the screen just flashes and immediately
goes right back to the list of newsgroups. I can never get into the actual
newsgroup to read or reply to messages.

On this same computer, if I "uninstall" Windows SP2, ALL Newsgroups function
perfectly normal. It is only on SP2 that it fails to work. I have
replicated this problem on several different computers.

Can anyone please advise on possible things that can correct this problem.
On my work computer, it also works, until I install SP2. The problem is that
I need to have SP2 installed to comply with the corporate computer image.

Thank you,
