just for interest, what is the difference between Start|Run|CMD and Start|Run|Command?
you seem to get a different $P$G what else?

thanks, yes I know how to stop it looking, but…… if you create a new user (say just a temp one for the kids – to be deleted after a few days) then the setting is back on. any way to have it off by default. I have a classroom with 11 xp computers and every day we make a new user for the days work. it just would be nice not to have to unselect that option everytime. (and then go and delete the extra printers that it finds before you get a chance to change the setting.)

thanks again.

Ya, the option of doing a repair has been in NT 5 and on at least that I know but not many seem to use it.

Ive used it a few times. esp. when the regestry has been damaged or a system file needed to get windows NT to work has died. PS there seems to be several types of repair as well. one after you say you want to install a new windowns and one before.

Ive had this problem as well. by the way, it din’t matter what hardware we tryied to install. also it had nothing to do with removing the modem. I would suggest that if you tried to install the other modem with the old on in it would have done the same thing.

our fix was to boot off the xp cd and do a repair. worked fine.

cya and good luck
