As you might have gathered, I still can't reply to the NG! Thanks for the offers of advice so far. I have changed the news server but still nothing. I'm beginning to think it might not be the server but a problem with my pc?
I have added a link to my site showing what appears when I try to reply to the ng. It says nothing but someone might recognise what the problem is when viewing it!

Sorry, no idea. You could try downloading Agent from http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php there's a free version as well as a pay version - I switched to the pay one but I can't remember what the feature was I thought worth the money. But if nothing else, you'll see if it's an Outlook error or something coming from NTL.

Bizarre. I've asked in the Shed. They seem to know the answers to most things between them... Watch this space. -- To reply see 'from' in headers; lose the domain, and insert dots and @ where common sense dictates.

Agent is now at V3, which I can not vouch for, because I have not downloaded it yet. V1.932 and V2 are IMO OK.

Actually it's just as simple (if you have nothing stored forever that you care about) to delete the .dbx file and let OE recreate it. You'll find it (and all the others you have viewed in your online life!!) (assuming you have 'show system and hidden files' turned on) at:
"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{long security ID string}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\"
but getting a decent newsreader (Outhouse Express need not apply) is a much better idea.

Hi All
Looks as though I'm up and running again! Tried your suggestion Fran but no luck I'm afraid. I decided to try a system restore, most of which didn't make any difference, but eventually one of them did! It seems to be working ok now. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Much appreciated.

Hi Paul,
Sorry to hear about the problems. Have you tried a new newsreader? You can d/load Free Agent from www.forteinc.com.

Is it? I stuck with 1.93, didn't bother with the pay-for 'upgrade' to V2 which was little more than a few bug fixes. I may investigate V3 though.
I'm using it, and quite like it so far. If you try it out, though, I'd suggest you evaluate it first as a clean install to a new directory, rather than an upgrade: some people on the Agent NG don't seem to like it very much 🙂
