Glee,
Did ck., called up msconfig & looked carefully last pm, found nada....
looked for anything that might reference the PWS. The puter started
yesterday w/o the dialog box & just again moments ago.... real strange!!
Thanks for confirming GeoDisk incompatibility, suspected KB891711. George
'done that been there' is missed. I will watch for his return. In fact, I
always wonder... will George return to the group, he's just having too much
fun, wait till he see's that Microsoft did a critical patch that is start-up
process!!
