Connecting to the NG [message #98308]

I have had problems for more than a year connecting to the NG. Often times
when trying to connect my internet explorer would crash. I had posted this
problem with no solution being found. This has significantly affected my
usage of the NG and between being incredibly busy and frustrated with the
crashes, I was forced to move on.

Having been away for sometime, I tried posting again and the usual occured....crash
city...it would seem that if I tried enough times I would get through without
understanding how I did it.

Well, I just found out that it seems my Google toolbar (not sure how or when
I started using it), seems to be the culprit. I reset my IE to factory settings
and all seems well...at least for now.

Now I can chat with my Paris buddies without hassel...life is good!

Welcome back Tyrone! I use Thunderbird, which is similar to Outlook
Express. I find it much easier to read the NG this way than online.

Tyrone,

Thanks for the tip. When I get a chance I'll contact both the NG software
makers and perhaps even Google and see if it can't be resolved.

You should be on Firefox though anyhow. ;o)

Cheers,
Kim.

I just want to be clear hear. I had no problem reading the NG, but would crash
whenever trying to access webnews.parisnewsgroup.com to post a topic or
respond to one.

Yep. The NNTP and web interface (webnews.parisnewsgroup.com) are both part
of the same package.

I'll contact them today as soon as this phone stops ringing. ;o)
