Outlook 2003 Newsreader

[Bras]

Hi,

I've Outlook 2003 and I tried to use it to read newsgroups, using the
customize in the menu bar and putting the option news on the go menu. It
worked, but only the first time. The optino news now disapeared from the
menu go, and from the customize. Where it go? I tried to repair and don't
fix. Another thing is the Business Manager that I installed I think version
beta, that crashes often, but I imagine that we can't have a solution on
that without more info.

Thanks

Joao Bras

To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control Panel |
Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook Express. If
OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you launch
it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the No
button.

You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or reboot your
machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting success
with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else fails, you
can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include the
/outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing the
newsreader via the News command in Outlook.

Don't know about the Business Manager problem, but the other is a known
issue. Try the following -- it seems to work for many:
