The problem is going to be you don't know exactly where your problem lies, so by the time you have found and extracted files from the XP CD or service packs etc. it is going to be quicker to reinstall. The problematic laptop is that still running sp2, if so you could try installing SP3 hoping that sp3 installs a newer version of some corrupt file. Thats of course assuming you can get a copy of sp3 on cd Tim ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!
