Hi - I suggest you try posting this in
microsoft.public.windows.live.onecare.backup for more expert help, as it
isn't a WinXP thing. If you have a hard time finding that group, try using a
news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express,
rather than the pretty clunky web interface to the newsgroups. It's a lot
easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be
watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and
search.
The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
