Use Outlook Express to take messages directly from the Microsoft news
server:
http://www.insideoe.com/resources/communities.htm

Two groups which seem relevant:
microsoft.public.nl.windowsxp
microsoft.public.nl.windowsxp.home

I have no idea how active these newsgroups are.

Hope this helps.

OP asked a valid question and used the English language in hopes of finding
help in this (primarily) English newsgroup.
It appears that this user seeks help in their preferred language, which is
their right.
The terms and phrases used in this newsgroup to describe actions and menu
options, etc. for the Microsoft Windows operating system does not translate
correctly at all into the Dutch language which causes confusion with those
whom are not strong in languages other than their own.
An example of confusion can be seen in the following thread:
"Volume Control mutes checkboxes when I try to unmute", posted on November

Familiar to you:
Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs

To the OP that translates to:
Start, Instellingen, Configuratiescherm, Software

Or literally 'Start, Settings, Configuration Screen, Software' to you.
Many users then trip over the 'Add or Remove Programs', because it does not
exist under that name.
It could have been translated directly to
'Toevoegen/Verwijderen van Programma's', but Microsoft chose otherwise.
