I got a new laptop with Vista last week and now can't get to the
newsgroup via Outlook. Called Comcast three times and talked to 3
different people who were next to no help--not sure they even know
what the newsgroups are!! Is there any other way to read the
newsgroups besides Google?

It looks as though comcast does support newsgroup access. I poked
around and found this:

http://chat-staging.comcastsupport.c...9-61408df0ec4a


Perhaps it will help? I found it by clicking on High Speed Internet
the Features and Services

starting from this page:

http://help.comcast.net/

Good luck!

Yay, I'm back on through Outlook and Comcast!! I finally found someone who
could really help me!! I hope it lasts. I'm almost afraid that if I log off
I'll be back to Google!! LOL

have you tried going to the comcast website and searching for
newsgroup information, I've set up newsgroups with a comcast
connection more than once and each time I do the obvious things and it
doesn't work and I search and find the page that helps, but it wasn't
obviously linked that I could find, but somewhere in there was a
technical page that took me through it step by step and I had to do
the same thing for other newsreaders, it's a quirk of comcast, not
outlook I think. You need your original login and password details,
which you probably don't use for anything else.

My new laptop came with Vista as well and I use Outlook to read my mail.
There is a button up on the menu bar that says "News". That opens Windows
mail which has the newsreader. Works great for me. Look for that button on
your laptop. HTH

I've tried Outlook for groups, I much prefer Agent. I think it is
worth the money.

Thanks, Alice. For some reason (after I'd been getting on fine for about a
week) I started getting an error message that Windows Mail couldn't switch
to the server. I spoke with about 4 different people at Comcast before I
finally got one who knew about newsgroups and I'm back on without problems,
so far!!
