Attention XP Gurus,

I consider myself a seasoned Windows user since the days
of Windows 95 and progressively became a self-taught
professional in tweaking and troubleshooting Windows
problems. However, two days ago I came across an anomaly
and nothing I've learnt prepared me for this.

Having also posted to Experts-Exchange.com just so you
know what I have tried, none of the ideas has helped

Looking forward to more ideas.

Ronnie,

Thanks so much for your post. You have saved me from
completely reinstalling the OS.
