Please direct me to the Internet Explorer 7 newsgroup - or perhaps you can
answer this.
I just did an automatic update and downloaded and installed IE7. Every time
I try to close the program, my Yahoo home page disappears but the Microsoft
'shell' with toolbars and all the rest of the stuff at the top etc. will not
close. I have to go to Control-Alt-Del to close it - it says running but
when I 'End Task' then it says 'this program is not responding' and it takes
a while to close it. Your thoughts?

Thanks for referring me to the correct newgroup. Unfortunately, the two
recommended newsgroups are "not unavailable on earthlink
news.west.earthlink.net server". Am I stranded? Anyone want to take a
crack at this?

In Outlook Express go to Tools | Accounts | Add (or New) | News.
Set up an account for this news server:

msnews.microsoft.com

The server is free and does not require you to logon. This news server
carries over 2200 newsgroups related to Microsoft products and keeps
messages at least 30 days.
