Hi Marla,

You don't have to wait until Tuesday
Download the fix from Kelly's site and save it to your desktop. Double-click
on the saved file.
It is a VBS that will make the registry changes for you.

Thanks, Larry. I haven't been able to work all weekend, and I did finally
find this same answer last night, but does that mean I'm going to have to
continue to be down until Tuesday when they release this thing? I'm not a
strong enough user to go through the registry change.

Thanks.

I've got a Compaq Evo 600c with Windows XP Professional SP1.

1. Recently my Windows Explorer has been locking up (not responding)
when
I
try to use the left hand screen to expand/collapse folders. If I click
on
the folders in the Right hand screen I can still search and view
files/folders but the left hand screen locks up. In addition:

2. When I generate a document in Word or Excel and click on Save As,
and
try to use the drop down menu in the save as window to save the new
file
in a
subfolder in My Documents, I lock up (not responding) and have to End
Program. Also

3. Since I'm afraid, with the previously discussed issues, that I'm
close
to a drive crash, I tried to do a System Backup As soon as I choose
"System
Backup" selection box in the window, the program locks up (not
responding)
and again I have to End Program.

Any Ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

AM I GOING TO CRASH?

I recently did a complete system cleanup including, chkdsk with repair,
defrag, scandisk, multiple virus scans, security software updates,
spyware
cleanup and emptied all Temp Files, Temporary Internet Files, and
Emptied
the
Recycle Bin.
