I'm curious about something. Checking the headers in the "reminder" messages from Microsoft, in the earlier messages the NNTP-Posting-Host was tide548.microsoft.com 131.107.0.118. In the "final reminder" message the NNTP-Posting-Host is c-24-22-159-236.hsd1.wa.comcast.net 24.22.159.236. Comcast??...

Don't tell me this thing still works? WTF are MS doing? - did someone forget to turn the lights out? -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk

....and the groups are still working! - or are they? MS never could stick to a deadline! g -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk

So far, so good. I'm reading and posting through nntp.aioe.org. Don't know how long it will last. It's sad the way this world seems to work. As we get older the younger generations seem to cast us aside. It appears they think of us as 'irrelevant, obsolete'. I'm beginning to hate those...

Just checking, in case MS had a fit and cut us off at the knees a day early g AFAIK, there's still no 9x support forums whatsoever - at least in English (unless I've been looking in the wrong places) -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi

Hi All, Wow, I go away for a few days and the crazy Canuck tells me the Me forum is going to disintegrate with the rest, bummer. Before it dies completely, I must say that I have enjoyed conversing with each and every one of you. I know I have never been as much help on the technical stuff...

Ladies and Gents. Depending on how MS cut us off, and the NNTP client you use, you may suddenly find that you have NO newsgroups in your reader when it happens. So now would be a good time to back up your message store if you want to keep the priceless gems you've garnered over the last...

Slow PC (Windows Me) Having an intermediate skill level for PCs, I employ the common maintenance practices to keep my PC operating smoothly. Often I get flyers in the mail from PC groups offering their services. One of their services is to fix a slow operating PC. Short of reformatting and...

....and counting. To all the friends I've made (and even to some I've unmade) in these forums, Goodbye, Good Luck - and see you on the flipside! I am now using the NNTP Bridge (both of them!) to access the Answers and MS forums. It's buggy, but it's still better than 'naked' access in terms of...

A while after installing new video drivers I noticed that the "new" entry in my context menu (that which appears if I rightclick in a folder) is gone. When using Google I find a lot of articles about adding that entry to Windows98SE by editing the registry - but I found nothing specific to...

I have an older WIN2000 machine. I do not have the password to log onto the machine and can not get it. I need to upgrade it to WINXP. I have the WINXP CD and am trying to boot from there so I can format the hard drive and intall. However when I attempt to boot from the CD it stops at "Boot...

Is there still a free version of an AV product that supports ME with definition updates? If so, would be grateful for a link.

What is Happening? This message is to inform you that Microsoft will soon begin discontinuing newsgroups and transitioning users to Microsoft forums. Why? As you may know, newsgroups have existed for many years now; however, the traffic in the Microsoft newsgroups has been steadily decreasing for...

What gets me is that Helen Shapiro! 'Walking Back to Happiness' starts off great, then turns into something by a middle-aged male Jewish wide boy - say, Michael Winner. Oyvay! She obviously had a lovely singing voice but was managed by someone only interested in the width. And Smokey Robinson's...

I have an old computer with windows me on it. I was wondering if windows updates would still work? like would i be able to update it so i could get whatever security updates came out before that i may have missed?

Quote from Microsoft. “On June 1, Microsoft will be progressively closing newsgroups and helping active newsgroups users migrate their discussions to the refreshed Microsoft forums that include Microsoft Answers, TechNet and MSDN. This decision was made in an effort to provide the best...

Ie6 is not supported at this site to play movies as the Flash Player reject it. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Hindi+Movies Is there anyway to overcome this or how can these be played on normal DVD software like as any cd can be played on this system. An old version of flash player...
