KISS = keep it simple, stupid It's a question of value -- how valuable are the data and services on the OP's computer? I assumed they were valuable and responded accordingly. If the data and services are of no value, then KISS would be running the computer until it breaks, wiping the HDD, doing a fresh install, and starting over. The other stuff is not required. David
