Newsreader menu item vanishes
I have just purchased a new Compaq S6900NX, that came
with Office 2003 pre-loaded. I purchased a CD and key directly from Microsoft in order to activate it. In Outlook 2003, I followed the directions to activate the newsreader. (Add that command to the GO menu.) It worked fine- until I closed it the first time. Now the menu option is gone from the GO menu, and no longer appears in the list of features that can be added through the add/remove buttons list. I have tried everything through a complete uninstall and re-install, and nothing works. The newsreader has just vanished off the face of the earth. Any ideas? Please e-mail me if possible at I really don't want to have to pay Microsoft to fix a problem that happened right out of the box. |

Answer is posted here several times a day.
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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jud Stevens" wrote in message ...

Thanks Russ... you probably saved my monitor's life. I
flipped through a couple of pages in this newsgroup without seeing anything on it before I posted the first time, so sorry if I didn't see a similar thread. -Jud -----Original Message----- Answer is posted here several times a day.
