In the past I have been able to access the Outlook
Express Newsgroup but not in the last two days. Is it
simply too busy or did I do something and and am banned.
I cant access anyother newsgroup.

Access to many MS newsgroups hasn't been available via the web-interface for
a while now, Joe, due to problems with the server.

Copy/paste the following into an IE Addressbar, click on GO and the OE6 NG
will open in your default newsreader:
--
OE6-specific newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

IE6 Browser newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
