Wow, that's really interesting. Never heard of that one before. Can you run filemon and/or regmon from sysinternals.com, and see exactly what object it gets access denied on? Oh, and did you try this without antivirus/antispyware/personalfirewall as I beleive someone suggested? Same result, or different but still broken? //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
