so I'm trying to migrate all the thingds I do in XP to the Win7

since it keeps locking up . Anybody else here used this combo and had
problems ? Any solutions ? I'm moving it all over to 7 because so much
just won't function in XP any more . There are a few thing I prefer XP
for , so I plan on keeping is as a backup OS , just trying to get as
much moved over as I can and email/newsgroups are a primary task for my
desktop . It's a pain in the ass to keep rebooting when I want to change
over .

Try these guys:

mozilla.support.thunderbird

But be careful, it is a "moderated" group. Watch
who/what you insult.

Also, this sounds like a hardware issue. Test
your hard drive health with:

The Win7 install is in a nearly-new 500 Gb hdd - I had some music stored
on it before I re-purposed it . The motherboard is also new , the old one
still functioned but was not Win7 compatible . Everything works just swell
in XP , though the T-bird version here is 52.something and it's a little
slow sometimes . I'm wondering if I need to step back to an earlier
version ... or if I need to dump T-bird and go with another
email/newsgroup client .

Anybody using Outlook ?

Outlook doesnt do usenet.

Outlook Express does but you have to use the second to last version to get
quoting.
