More info?)
I have ran a repair on windows xp. I did have an issue with virus at one
point. i will try the other two suggestions in the kb. If that does not work
I think my only hope will be to re - install windows completely. Iam trying
not to do that. Hp has a seperate partion for their os system...for restores.
i will give the kb doc a try and let you know. thanks michael
