In the folder wher XNews is installed,
look for the file: .
Open it in a text editor.

Edit it down to only the following two lines:

% score file for Xnews
% read for instruction

then save it.
make sure you are saving it
as a text file with the extension: .ini

Reload XNews, and see it that fixed the problem.
