I backed up and formatted my computer. It was getting
too cluttered with junk and now I can use GoBack as well.
My settings are mostly back to normal. I need to know how
to get these newsgroups to appear in Outlook Express.
Please respond and help me so I can use Outlook Express
again with this newsgroup. As you can see, I may know a
lot about computers but I really know hardly anything
about Outlook Express. Thanks for your help and have a
great day!

Go into Outlook Express, go to Tools, then Accounts.
Hit the Add button
Pick "News"
Use "msnews.microsoft.com" for your server.
If you get that far, I think you can make it the rest of the way... :-)
