Default Outlook Express newsgroup problem

I am using Windows 98 with Outlook Express 6.

If I sign into Windows as an administrator I can use Outlook to access
newsgroups.


However, if I sign in as anything other than administrator, I can still

use my computer as normal, and even send mail under Outlook, however
newsgroup access does not work. Everytime I try to download a list of
newsgroups I am prompted for my username and password, which I enter,
yet the system gets stuck in an endless loop asking me again for
username and password...and again.


Any suggestions?

Is a username/password required for access in the news account?

If not:
Tools | Accounts | News | account name | Properties | Servers tab
Uncheck "This server requires me to log on"
Click Apply then OK
