Hi Jim - Yes they are different - the CDGone download I gave,
http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip, handles some additional things
besides just deleting the Filter entries. I would suggest running both it
and the FilterFixer package, link to directions here:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp27501-28000/sp27949.txt, direct download
here: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp27501-28000/sp27949.exe, in order,
maybe?
