Hi Michael,

Thanks for your come back. I've tried Safe Mode, but apparently the
SYSTEM can't get to any of the files it needs, as it just reboots
itself. I'm thinking I'm going to have to use an emergency boot CD.
Do you think I could then somehow change the permissions, so that I
could subsequently do a Normal Boot? Only problem is I don't have an
emergency XP Pro Boot CD. Do you know if I can download that from
Microsoft somewhere. I have access another XP machine.

Thanks,
Don
