Cindy,

I picked up your message in rec.travel.usa-canada. Until I opened my
reply I wasn't aware that you have cross-posted to two technical groups
as well. I was going to suggest that you post to one.

All the same I will post a list of some non-Usenet http forums that I
have found very useful.

Windows BBS - http://tinyurl.com/rlq89
Windows Annoyances Network FAQ - http://tinyurl.com/3vkc
There is also a discussion forum for Windows Annoyances at: -

Hope that this helps.
