Hi. My RSS feeds update automatically for an hour or so (they're set to
update every 15 minutes), and then they stop updating. I then go to
Scheduled Tasks, delete the feeds updating task, and then reset it. It'll
work again for a short period of time and then just stop updating. So I
repeat the process. What's going on, and how do I fix this behavior? Thanks.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup.

How many feeds to you have? What happens when you set the Refresh rate to,
e.g., every 4 hours? (15 minutes might not be enough time for all of your
feeds to sync in one Refresh.)

Hi. I have WinXP Home, SP3, use IE7, and use Windows Live Mail as my RSS
reader. To repeat, My RSS feeds update automatically for an hour or so
(they're set to update every 15 minutes), and then they stop updating. I
then go to Scheduled Tasks, delete the feeds updating task, and then reset
it. It'll work again for a short period of time and then just stop updating.
So I repeat the process. What's going on, and how do I fix this behavior?

I have 46 RSS feeds. In response to your suggestion PA Bear, I set my
Refresh rate to every 1 hour in IE7 and also in WLM. But, surprise, it's
still updating every 15 minutes, even though I had deleted the Scheduled
Task before resetting the refresh rate (which recreated the task). I'm
thoroughly confused by this behavior. After setting the refresh rate to 1
hour, the automatic feed updates occurred properly for a couple of hours,
but then, like before (for seemingly no reason), the automatic updates
stopped. So basically, nothing has changed, except I changed the Automatic
feed update setting from 15 minutes to one hour. If anyone has thoughts on
this behavior, I'd appreciate elucidation on this behavior.

Thanks.
Larry

WLMail uses IE7's RSS feed. Do you see the same behavior when accessing the
feeds in IE7 (CTRL+J)?

IE7 Tools | Internet Options | Content | Feeds | Settings: Is "Every 1 hour"
selected here as the default?

Open IE7 Favorites Center to the Feeds view (CTRL+J). Individual settings
for 46 feeds is a lot to check but are any of them set to a Custom schedule
(IOW, not the Default)?

The above notwithstanding, see if this fix is for you:
