I have noticed something strange about this newsgroup.
 

I realize that this is slightly off-topic, but, has anyone else noticed that
there are messages listed as "not downloaded" in this newsgroup? I have 11
messages that cannot be downloaded. The number gets larger every day. I
have tried deleting the newsgroup and then re-subscribing and that does no
good.

Has anyone else noticed this or better yet, has anyone discovered a
solution?

Thanks...

Dick

I have 11 not downloaded today. I'll have to check it again Monday.

The solution is probably for you to find a new NNTP service.

You are no alone I have noticed this in this newsgroup and none others for
at least a month and I have learned to live with it. However, it is a
nuisance.

Right click on "microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devic es" and select
"Catch Up".
If that doesn't work, click on Tools up in the file menu bar and select to
download the next 1000 headers (or whatever the number is in your reader.)

Hi,

A known issue with WM/OE as a newsreader when the message count on the NNTP
server doesn't match the actual number of messages. It's not going to be
fixed, though many have complained about it for years.
