HI,

Thanks for updates.

Could you paste back the detailed file version of your suiteinfo.dll file,
so that we can identify if the issue relate with this file.

Thanks for your effort, as I know there is some special updates for the
Windows 2003 SP1 for Dell computer.

I am here waiting for any of your updates, we also want to know the results
of the issue.



Best regards,

Charles Yang (MSFT)

| Hi Charles, Susan....
|
| As Per usual I have inherited this network as is...Yes I would admit that
if
| I had a few hiccups along the way I would be happy but this is terrible..
|
| My Suiteinfo.dll file does not have any resource tab, so I opened it with
| notepad and verified an OEM in there...I also replaced the suitefinfo
with
| the original Dell disks and I reinstalled the SBS components....none of
these
| work..
| I have phoned Dell and they claim they don't have any special Service
| Pack...So I am sort of left dead in the water.....
| Will keep you updated.....
|
| Thanks
