You can roll your eyes all you want, but Mr. Montgomery is correct. You
aren't going to get an answer because none of us can see the previous
entries to this thread. This "vistaheads" to which you are posting is not a
regular web forum. It is a web interface that scrapes Usenet postings. The
rest of us who are using real newsreaders to access Usenet (the far better
way) don't see the thread the way you do. Therefore we know nothing of what
went before and you won't get the help you need.

Read through the information below which will show you how to set up a
newsreader. Even if you don't want to do that, read at least some of the
information at the links under "How To Post" and then make a new post with
all your pertinent details so someone can help you.

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

Yes. And here's why...

The forum you are using leeches most of its posts from Microsoft servers
and mingles them with posts from forum users, so most of what you see
there comes from the outside. Outsiders - people listed as "guest"
and/or whose number of posts are "n/a" - don't have a clue what you are
talking about.

If you would like helpful replies to your posts, we need you to quote
what you are replying to or start a new thread and fully describe your
issue and what you have done to try to fix it.

Plan to continue following these groups? Want to find more that aren't
listed? You should give serious thought to using a news reader. It's much
faster and way more flexible than the medium you are using now.

There are several free news readers available. Windows Mail is one of
them, and it's also very easy to set up:
