How can I find my recent post. I raised a question yesterday and cannot find
it or any response. I received the normal prompt it was received,but I cannot
find it.
 
You won't have trouble finding recent posts - and you'll have a much
better experience overall - if you read this newsgroup and all
newsgroups the way they were intended to be read: with a newsreader.

"Accessing MS Newsgroups with Outlook Express"

You can also search for your post in Google Groups, but that's not much
better than Microsoft's clunky web interface.

Do yourself a favor and quit using that lame excuse for a web interface
for nntp newsgroups and use a newsreader. You have one that came with
Windows XP, it's called Outlook Express. Though there are others that
are available and can be found by using Google and searching for
newsreaders. To set up OE for newsgroups read this article:

Note that in step #9 they show how to subscribe to the Internet Explorer
newsgroup. You can subscribe to others in the same manner, just change
what you're searching for. For example windowsxp would show all the
newsgroups for Windows XP.

Wonderful! Did you finally look in the newsgroup you originally asked the
question in?
