Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately no success DL.
I followed the links instructions. Installation of 'InstMsiW.exe' was met
with the following reply:"The specified service already exists". Thereafter I
followed the Win NT 4.0 instructions(for my Win 2000) but could not get the
command prompt to appear long enough for me to type anything in (it appeared
only for a split second after 'OK'ing to 'command' in Open box??
What now?
