When I am reading the messages in this newsgroup the dates go from 4/24/08
to 5/30/08. There is nothing in between. The date of my post was
5/29/08. How can I get to all these missed dates. I want to be able to
read all the most current posts. Thanks.

If you don't see View at the top, hit your Alt key,
under view, select Show All Messages and View by Conversation.
Try out other settings.
 
Hi,

You need to synchronize more posts. Click Tools/Get New Headers.

Alternately, click Tools/Options, and on the Read tab under News, uncheck
the box to "Get xxx headers at a time". Click apply/ok, then click
Tools/Synchronize and it will download all available headers (be aware that
there are tens of thousands in this group, so it will take a while).

Are you getting this group directly from the Microsoft news server
(msnews.microsoft.com), or through your ISP's news server? If the latter, I
suggest that you set up an account using the Microsoft server for better
reliability.

Note: this suggestion is in addition to, not instead of, the other useful
responses you've received.
 
With a busy group like this (guess why it's busy!!!), there may be more
messages than your ISP and newsreader can handle, unless you connect at
least once a day.

Quite often your own messages don't get through because of traffic jams, and
paranoid posters may get the impression that there's a nasty moderator out
there who censors some of the nasty things we people rightly write about
Vista.

Regards
