To respond to you below:

1. Yes that was a typo :) I did not install the PWS or MWS.

2. I will give that restore point option some consideration! Thanks for the reminder about that feature.

3. I am not familiar with disk-based webs. So I am not really sure if that means this other person wouldn't be able to work around this in some way. Any further advice?

Thanks for taking the time to work with me on this.
