    Hi! I'm running Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and have encountered a very strange problem. Everything was working smoothly, when this started happening all of a sudden. When I am replying to a newsgroup posting, it will not send. Instead, I get a blank window popup with three buttons and a check box (all of which are blank). Clicking on any of them does nothing.

    Any ideas on what this could be and how I can fix it? Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hi Brian and welcome. I moved your thread from Outlook (a part of Microsoft Office) to the place for OE questions and tweaked your title a little. You should get lots better attention here.

    What operating system are you running?

    Although I do not subscribe to Newsgroups the problem is likely to be similar to being unable to send email, which I guess you can.

    Your Newsgroup account may be corrupted - try exporting the account to a back up and then delete it from OE and set up a fresh one.

    Glad to help out.

    Did you try what Pete suggested? If so, what results?
