I pretty much have it all set up but in my groups, I can't find where to set
the messeges to expand like they do with Win XP. You know when you post a
message there is a plus sign beside it and to see the ans. to that post you
just click on the plus and the message expands. I cannot find where to make
it do that in Windows Express. Can anyone please help?

Since you failed to state which program you're using, I'll just give you an
answer that fits one of the possibilities:
Tools, Options, Read.

What's Windows Express?

It is Windows Express Mail it comes with windows 7 it is somewhat like
Outlook Express but different in many ways. They don't have Outlook Express
anymore for mail or groups. I get my messages on the same page and email.
I am also using Giganews, but that really has nothing to do with the set up.
Right now I am on my laptop in bed sick. But thought I would ask if anyone
had ran across this problem and was able to solve it. I have found just
about everything else but that. I have to be missing something somewhere
but I sure don't know where.

Do you mean Windows Live Mail? On the menu Bar: View | View By
Conversation. Check it.

There is a small solid > in front of the thread instead of the + sign.

Don't see the Menu Bar?

The Alt button will temporally enable the Menu Bar, or click on the Menus
button to the left of the Help button and enable the Menu Bar.

No, there is no program with that name. Do you mean Windows Live Mail?

No, it doesn't come with Windows 7. In fact no e-mail program comes
with Windows 7. If you bought a Windows 7 computer that came with
Windows Live Mail, it was because the vendor who sold it to you
installed Windows Live Mail, not because it comes with Windows 7.

Then almost certainly you are talking about Windows Live Mail. It
essentially the latest version of Outlook Express, but with a
different name.

Correct. Windows XP was the last version to include Outlook Express.

Yes, that is what I meant, I thought I said that but looking back I don't
see it. I will give this a try today, thank you so much. I have been
batting my head against the wall putting everything together for about 2
weeks now and heard of this group yesterday evening. When I get to my other
computer I will give it a try and let you know.

Windows Live Mail. I'm sorry I got that wrong. It is all so new to me and
I have had such a hard time getting it going, I wish I had heard of this
group before.

I have no idea, I got it wrong. I have been in bed and the desktop was in

Hi Stinkweed,
Windows 7 is pretty and fun, but takes a bit of getting used to.

Windows Live Mail isn't half as user friendly as Outlook Express.
Correction : it's a lot worse than Outlook Express.

There is a Microsoft Communities group for Windows Live Mail:
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

When you have everything set up and find a few things not working as in OE,
please tell Microsoft to change it back the way it was by going to Help>Send
Feedback.

Have fun and take care :)

Grenou

Oh yea, I had just bought a new piece of software and lost it. I have
learned not to click on the mouse if you don't know what it means, I have
learned you can't move one program from one machine to another successfully,
that was the last straw. Well I guess it is what made the whole thing go
haywire. I have learned never to try to set your computer back to another
date.. I just learned a whole lot of things.... :-(

Hi Grenou, I haven't seen you for awhile on the net. How are you? The
rotten thing is it took me 2 weeks of pure extreme stress setting the stupid
computer up. I almost had it made, then I tried to put a program I have in
my laptop into it. That is when things started to go to you know where in a
handbasket. It just got worse and worse till it just doesn't work right.
Not for the purposes I wanted it. Tell the gang at the group I said Hi!

Ouch, stress is not a good thing.
I am still in the abc group.
Will pass on your greetings.
Good luck getting your computer sorted out!
