Hi dsdreamer - First - thanks. I did what you suggested (I think). I ran the netstat -ab's but don't see anything that might be intefering (but I'm not very good with interpreting the results). I ran a pre-install and a post-install. I reviewed all start-up entries but don't see anything unusual. Same with the installed programs - they look reasonable. I googled a few that I wasn't familiar with but they seem ok. Could you taka a look at the new info if you get a chance? You may see something that I don't. I posted to [url] http://www.scurvydog.us/slimproblem/index.htm (start-ups and installed programs are at the bottom). Thanks - Hutch
--You have done all the obvious things and them some. My suggestion would be to work on the theory that some other program has opened a critical port that SBS needs. -- --running ---Code: netstat -ab --from a cmd shell can give you additional clues about what programs are opening which ports on the machine. I would be interested in how that looks when all the Squeeze related stuff is uninstalled, and again when installed. Take a closer a look at any processes that have ports open that you don't recognize. I would further suggest running MSCONFIG and running a diagnostic startup with as few startup items and services running as possible. Does this make SBS installation possible? Take a good look at the list of installed programs, are then any additional security related apps still lurking? (prevx, spybot S&D, etc?) Are there any resident portions of such programs still lurking after an uninstall (immunize, tea timer etc)? __________________ ---------------------- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..."
