I have the same problem as tommy boy, I tried your solution Jupiter jones
mulitple times and am on my fourth hour trying various other solutions. I
have donloaded all driver updates and service packs aswell as updates to
windows(even the ones that were irrelevant ex:windows media player) any help
would be much appreciated! as this is most frustrating. I am not computer
illiterate but I figured if there was anywhere to find computer-gods who
could help it would be here. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to
reply here or e-mail me. Also my buisness phone has unlimited long distance
so if need be comunication by telephone is very possible.
