Unfortunately the pc is now "back home" so I can't follow it up. I dealt
with the problem by simply sharing what I wanted/needed on my other pc's and
grabbing it on the Home pc. Made it a pain getting up all the time to get to
the various pc's but it working in some fashion was better than not at all.
I'll keep that post handy though as I'm sure to run across it again. I'll
also see if I can find and download the mentioned tools. Seems kind of
sleazy to me some of the choices MS made regarding home/pro differences,
included tools, what one can easily access etc. etc.
I will add one thought though. No wonder there's so much "trouble" people
have with their pc's, using the net etc. These people were just "regular
folk" who bought a pc, isp etc. and after 4 months or so had almost hundred
various files alone marked as trojan, dialer, adware etc. etc. They just
considered it "par for the course" (knew no better) until finally it just
wouldn't connect anymore etc.
From a guy who feels you don't know how to drive if you can't drive a
standard WITHOUT syncromesh ...
