I can't post to discussion group from Vista

[SandyR]

I cannot post a question on a discussion group from a Vista PC. After I log
in to the discussion group, it brings up an empty tab with "continue" for a
label. To post this, I had to go to an old XP PC.

It's not a Vista issue. If anything it's an IE issue.

And it's not a suggestion.

What is your suggestion for Microsoft? What is your office question?

My suggestion is that Microsoft make it possible for office users who have
Vista, or IE 7, if that is where the problem lies, to post questions on the
discussion group. It isn't exactly an office issue, but I didn't know where
to put it.

Perhaps you have to change your security settings, as there are plenty
of folks posting to the Vista group with IE7 installed.

Do yourself a BIG favour and ditch the horrible web interface. Use a news
reader instead.

If you have the facilities the best way to access the MS Newsgroups is via
Windows Mail or Outlook Express newsreader, the web interface for groups is
really crappy
(By facilities I mean, if not blocked by your IT dept)

Vista, or IE 7, if that is where the problem lies, to post questions on
the
