Just fixed it on another box.

I think you are right - as I am seeing that on machines that use that ms update instead of auto update. The machines I am seeing this on are not "my" machines, but another entities machines inside my building so I am far less familiar with their setup than my setup

BTW - fix for the W2K machines I'll type up in a little bit...

Ummm... my computers have problems. One is a pc the other a laptop, both xp. The pc, in particular, has issues. It will sometimes not shutoff, then sometimes when I start it freezes before loading windows. Then sometimes it will open and do the really slow super high pc usage business. Sometimes it works ok. It also has norton on it.

Should I do what likwid said on the first page of the thread? I also gotta get rid of Norton I think cause it seems to be a bugga. I am not computer illiterate, but not very literate either when it comes to this stuff.
