| yes i have tried what is in your post, and i have also gone to half a doz
| other forums other than microsoft but first i tried all the microsoft ones,
| each change i made as suggested or deleted and replaced what it said to, i
| rebooted then tried the site again it did not work so changed settings back
| to where they where and went to the next one or the next forum and did the
| same, i am just at a loss as to what to try now, sorry did not write down all
| the different sites i went to, to find a solution i seem to be living in
| dream land assuming i would find an answer before resorting to actually
| having to submit a question in a forum, thanks for answering but dont think i
| will bother anymore guess i will just have to wait for the next service pack
| or find out from someone that is still able to down load updates and get the
| numbers of files off them and hopefully microsoft will allow me to down load
| them manually, i seem to have no trouble accessing their help pages and every
| other page they have.
