Nope, i tried that last night and same error as above occurs. At this point, i am going to throw in the towel on this and rebuilt the computer from scratch with a clean install on a clean hard disk. This computer hasn't had a clean install in a very long time and is overdue.
Thanks very much for the time and effort that you have spent on this. It is greatly appreciated and i certainly learned a lot along the way.
Thanks again - Mike
