Download the Belarc Advisor from www.belarc.com - run it and see what it
reports about the Hotfixes installed - post the list back, if you need explanations - reinstall any patches it says are broken.

Thanks, Mike!

Jean, Just in case Noel doesn't get to see your post until tomorrow. 290700 is quite definitely still available and very much required as without this patch system restore will be unable to create usable checkpoints. This patch can be downloaded either from the Windows Update catalogue (see below) or from the link in the associated KB article. MS KB 290700 - "Checkpoints That You Create After September 8, 2001 Do Not Restore Your Computer" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290700). 823559 is also very much a required patch. KB 823559 - "MS03-023: Buffer overrun in the HTML converter could allow code execution" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823559) and can also be downloaded from the Windows Update catalogue. 287564 is somewhat more difficult. This is the MovieMaker 1 upgrade which for some totally inexplicable reason is not in the Windows Update catalogue nor is there any associated KB article. 287564 can however be downloaded using the link http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...567C1451.EX E To access the Windows Update Catalogue you will need to visit the Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) site and choose in the left hand pane to "Personalize Windows Update" and then check the box in the right hand pane to "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalogue". Save Settings and now click the new link to the Catalogue that has been added to the left hand pane. MS KB 323166 - "HOW TO: Download Windows Updates and Drivers from the Windows Update Catalog" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=323166). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Jean wrote: Noel, Idid what you suggested and here is the results: DataAccess Q318203 on 2/26/2002 (details...)

I seem to have managed to pin the problems down to a faulty channel on the HighPoint controller. I tried upgrading the driver to the latest available for this board which introduced me to some blue screens (stop codes) I'd never previously visited. :-) [Code 35 No More IRP Stack Locations] I was glad to find a use for Last Good followed by SR. I've got most of the data off the two HDs onto another drive and will start pulling out some hardware into the new box although I don't want to do a "proper" OS install on that until a delayed HD from dabs arrives on Tuesday - should have been here on Friday but ParcelForce seem to have instead decided to take it on a trip round s.London rather than deliver it. Once the new box is available in its final hardware configuration and basic OS and software installed I'll be zapping the drives on this disk (one seems to have a couple of defects) and swapping them over to the normal IDE controllers on the mobo in the hope of fixing the problem and getting this box back in reasonable shape for use by the girls. -- Mike |

Hmm - no, I think I'll leave that one to you (you seem to have it admirably
under control!) Must get to bed now so I can be all bright-eyed/bushy-tailed tomorrow to move my PC over to the pub for Monday's fun - creating T-shorts to order (while wearing a rather fetching black velvet frock, wig, and Doc Martins!) Pictures will be available on my site either as the day goes on (if I can filch net access) or a couple of days later after I've brought the system back home. - always assuming I can find my camera somewhere in this midden I call a flat! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Mike M" wrote in message ...
