SRS -

Good to hear that you fixed the problem - and that you didn't go for the "reinstall Windows" advice.

I had a Techie at a former place of employment whose only answer to every problem was "reformat the hard drive." It's amazing how many times I've seen people backup everything, reformat, reinstall; and then copy the "problem" back onto the machine from backup. "Reinstall Windows" should also usually be interpreted as "I don't know what's goind on - but this will keep you busy for a while." There are times when it's appropriate, but I usually resist strongly, until a specific "something" that causes the problem is identified.

Good job. Save your notes.
