No newsgroups for Win 7, I am afraid. You will need to ask your question
at the appropriate Forum.

Select the one you need from here:

I despise Forums. So, good luck!

Newsgroups and forums are only as good (or bad) as the people
who inhabit them. Be a good neighbor, and hop you find other
good neighbors. I already migrated to an XP forum and got
a response as quickly as I've always gotten from the MVPs
here. And at least one of the names stayed the same......
