Instead of the Google groups why don't you use the newsreader built into
Vista? Windows Mail is easy to configure for newsreading and all the
newsgroups are presented for you to choose from.

That is the program I am having trouble with and looking for help
on.
I wrote that in my post, sorry it was not clear.
"Having trouble with Vista windows newsgroup login".

I have been using the Vista windows e mail News program (comes up when
I hit Start) ok for about 8 months. Now all of a sudden it won't
login to newsgroups, keeps asking over and over.
If I bypass login it won't post the msg.

Also tried Restore and after it runs and restarts it says did not
complete.

Any thoughts on where to get help?

What's your ISP?

Some have recently discontinued handling Usenet.

Thanks for the reply..

I use Charter.net.

I am not computer literate; but I did hook up to my charter.net with
another computer also using Vista and the newsgroups worked.
Does that mean the ISP is still doing Usenet?
All greek to me.

Also when the newsgroups stopped working it would no longer Print with
my printer and it will not complete a system restore.

Yes, it means your ISP is still doing Usenet.

Do you know how to restart and then get into Safe Mode? You need to
try to run System Restore while in Safe Mode. Hopefully that will
take care of your printing problem as well.

Restart the computer and start tapping the F8 key before the Windows
logo reappears. If you wait too long and the logo appears, restart
and try again.

If doing a restore in Safe Mode doesn't work, then you will have to
try to check your newsgroup setup. It is tied into your Windows Mail
setup:
