>Hi Bruce,

You're right, I've done this on dozens of machines as well but for some
reason this unit will not take on the 128 bit encryption into ie5. When the
upgrade to ie6 is done it says that it completed successfully and restarts.
Once you check the encryption in the new ie6 it still says that it is 56 bit. I
get both winlogon.exe errors and explorer.exe errors and the system will
not stop rebooting once service pack 3 is applied. I get stop: c00002 errors
if I disable the auto reboot. Thanks for your help.
