Solutions don't exist without problems. If there isn't a well defined problem, the solution is really just a workaround or a temporary fix, and may come back to haunt you. Microsoft support tends to include a lot of workarounds. (Reboot (up to 3 times) and see if it goes away). One of the reasons I like using *nix is that I can see what went wrong (most often, but not always) and try to find a _solution_. Greg --- -
