I don't see a Windows 7 newsgroup anywhere. Can I ask Win 7 questions
here? If not, can someone point me to the appropriate group?

It's fairly new (I think), so the OP might have to refresh his newsgroup
index or list.

This NG does have some traffic, although it's no longer hosted by MS.
And as proved by your response and mine, one can ask for advice here
with some hope of a reply :-)

FWIW, a refresh still doesn't show it. No big deal and thanks for the
pointer.

Maybe the newsgroup isn't being carried. I read it using news.aioe.org

I'm using news.individual.net, but I have also seen it on Albasani.

But if memory serves me right, Albasani might be gone. The site owner
died, but I don't know the sites current status. My account is expired,
so I won't check.

http://www.albasani.net/ is still up. It says (in 2012) that Alexander
Bartolich "ist verstorben", but they want to continue with the server.

Odd. So am I, but I don't see it.

Wondering... Do you have any other newsgroup software other than Forte
Agent? If yes, use it and see if you see the newsgroup. If yes, I'd
look at Forte Agent as being the problem somehow.

I'm dubious about that. I have no trouble with alt.windows7.general
using Agent with eternal-september.

I used the word "refresh", but my newsreader actually calls it "Update
grouplists". Maybe we were miscommunicating before...

This reader also lets me apply filters to a newsgroup list, so that I
might not see all the groups in the list, if I accidentally have a
filter set.
