Re: Can't Upgrade

Sky King,

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you mean to put commas (I use U.S.
numbers, with commas separating thousands, and a period separating decimals)
between the numbers "6.0.2900.2180" instead of periods? That seems really
risky to me, but frankly I haven't the experience to tell if it is or not.

I have backed up the Registry.
