Galoot, I support what you claim about the ms special xp2
cos' I am also one of the victims of trying to fixed those
same repeated errors surfacing. It make me go NUT until I
have to reversed back my OS. Let ms dust settle first
before you enter, it save you the trouble of meddling your
pc to fix it.
