Hi

Did you run the file from an account that has administrative privileges?

Sending users off to a site that simply gives them a reg hack file as a
possible cure may be doing them a disservice.

The user ran the file, it changed something in the registry and now they may
not know what it was.

An explanation here (or on that web site would be better) of just what the
problem is and what the hack is supposed to accomplish wouldn't hurt - would
it?

Hi

I've just tried the file here and it works OK. I'm not sure what else to
suggest.

Did you not read that webpage???

There is a description of exactly what the file does and does not do. With a
VBS file, you can simply open the file in Notepad and see what changes will
be made.
