I tried what you said, that was so easy, thanks. My guess is that whatever
corrupted the file to begin with was taken care of when I brought my computer
in to have all that junk removed. All that I needed to do was replace the
corrupted file. (I also deleted the notepad file autoexec.nt that was
created when I tried the instructions from KB324767, didn't think I needed
that anymore). Anyway thanks again and good luck to all who have the same
trouble.
