Hi,
Again, thank you for your continued help but no luck. I rebooted and was prompted to install the same 20 important updates and these all failed.
I finally obtained the recovery DVDs for the system and will likely flatten it. A pain but not the end of the world.
A final thank you for your help, direction and responsiveness. It is great knowing that there are people like you that are willing to spend time and energy helping others.
Sincerely,
Anthony
