I get an error and it doesn't do anything. But I can select it and choose properties on the top menu and get there fine.

I get the odd error when adding/editing servers, but that's not 
something I'd call unusual in BNR3, Vista or no.  More or less it just 
works, except that one of my installs doesn't seem to go online to 
download articles anymore (But if I manually connect, it works until a 
timeout or other disconnect)

I haven't put the time into tracking it down, these days I just generate 
my own NZB files using Easynews and use BNR2 to download.
