Post subject: none existant unread posts Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>help_and_support (more info?)
In this newsgroup, and only this newsgroup, my folder display shows an number of unread posts
(number in pren's), but there are no posts shown. I can clear the number with a the right-click
then catch-up. But in the next opening of this news group, and the deletion of all posts, a small
number of un-read posts shows up again. Today it is 10, most of the time it is 5 to 8.
I have the view setting to show all messages.
I have tried unsubscribing and then, after closing OE and restarting OE, I have presubscribed to
this newsgroup.
I have no such problem with any of the other 5 microsoft.public. newsgroups I watch, just this one.

Those should be messages not downloaded. They are what we call "ghost"
messages. Basically, the servers are out of sync and there is nothing you
can do about it. It's been going on here for a couple of weeks. Sooner or
later, it will clear up. <Maybe>
