Michael,
I was working with another list member for about a week trying everything
possible, short of reinstallation, and nothing worked...ulimately this
person decided to format the damned hard drive and start over--and, wadda'
know? I worked!
I haven't a clue what the error was on his machine, but for the life of me I
simply couldn't come up with any more tricks. If you don't have anything
more than a little installation time invested in your current setup, you
might want to give that format & reinstall a try.
