I honestly find that hard to believe that the machines didn't have some serious problems in the first place. Installing the framework itself without using it should have very limited if any effect on the general stability of the system. I've installed the .NET frameworks 100's of times on many dozens of machines with absolutely no discernable ill effects(unless you count the extra download time, but it's a walk-away process to me). The .NET framework is also installed on, I dare say, millions of computers world-wide. I'm guessing the install is probably one of the most solid out there and there must have been something unique about your machine's installs-- maybe some poorly written anti-virus/anti-spyware software sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong........... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
