OE- Newsgroups error

[Gamichel]

I had this error problem before and it disappeared after I reloaded WIN98SE. After reload all was well for a few days and it re-appeared.

I have checked the FAQs and done a Google search but can't pin it down.

When trying to view newsgroups with OE 6.00.2600.0000
using WIN 98 SE. I get the following errors:

Trying to synchronize newsgroups gives error:
Protocol NNTP, Port0, Secure(SSL): NO Error number 0x080004005
for each group on my list.

Selecting a group gives an OE error msg box "An unknown error has occurred"

Selecting a msg in a group displays "Message could not be displayed. Outlook Express encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or disk space and try again".

{disk space and memory don't seem to be the issue for me} it was working and it quit with no changes to the system.

This isn't really a crisis, since I just check the newsgroups occasionally for new recipes, but it is an annoyance...

Any suggestions?

Thanks
