Hi Kelly

Well, I had to get my friend Bill to boot off his XP CD and do a repair
re-installation. I have no idea what the cause of the problem was and I was
astonished that a system restore from a previous restore point wouldn't!

Something must have got screwed, but I don't know what. Anyway, he's back
up and running. I've just noticed another post to the newsgroup today with
what looks to be the same problem.

I wonder if it could be a virus?

Although I know that his virus files are updated daily.

Thanks for your interest...
