Thanks for the welcome and you suggestions. I will carry out all of your instructions as soon as I can get past my lastest problem posted in
this thread.
The problems seem to be getting worse. After getting some great help from here I was able to boot up normally last night with only the registry repair error quoted but when I came in this morning, it had gotten worse.
I don't mean to have two threads going but they seemed to be two seperate problems until this morning.
Thanks!
Joe
