Pete,

Funny you should say that, but that's just what I did late last nite, after 
exhausting all other avenues.  

the whole problem started when I wanted to move the install to another disk 
partition (the boot partition was getting full), so
after uninstall, I deleted the old directory structure that was left behind.

after re-install (and all the problems), I started poking around in the 
registry, and found that about 80% of the registry items for
\IBM\ were pointing to \RECYCLER\... paths????  I guess because I deleted the 
old directories or something.

I started fixing them and after about 100 or so entrys, I gave up and 
re-un-installed.  Most of the registry entries were gone by
then, so I only had a few left to delete.  I didn't think about netsoft, but we 
don't use that router anyway.

long (5 hours) story short, after the 3 re-re-install, I got it right.

I hate poking around in the registry - I already have a reputation around here 
of being able to make my P2 266mz 64mg PC run like a
386-33mz after only a few weeks.

I look at a pc crooked and it reboots :)

Thanks for the response though,

Rick
