Thanks for the reply.
I did a new installationon a new hard drive that I made
the master. i then installed programs on the new C drive
and moved folders from D drive. i ran into trouble when I
tried to install the programs for my scanner and modem, I
got a message that I have to be the administrator even
though I was logged on as administrator. I searched the
knowledge base and newsgroup and found an article that
delt with this problem when changing from ME to 2000 pro.
i followed the instructions and the problem was solved.
Unfortunately I di not print the article and have searched
for it but cant find it again. On July 13 when the whole
bunch of updates showed up I tried to install them
automatically and they failed, I tried to install them
manually and they downloaded ok but the installation
failed with the error message that it had to be done by
the administrator. I thought that something might have
gotten corrupted in windows 2000 and tried to reinstall
but cant do that either because I get the same error
message there too.
I hope that this long explanation helps.
Dieter.
