Can anyone tell me why a few news groups delete themselves after one or two
days? Is there any way to prevent that from happening? My news group
settings are supposed to be kept for 20 or 30 days

TIA

It is probably the news server you are using.
Ask your ISP or the person who controls your news server.

If you want to access Microsoft newsgroups, do it directly.
The server is msnews.microsoft.com
