Bob, just wanted to let you know, I asked a driver question yesterday, and no one responded yet (24 hours ago). If someone should respond to yours, could they also take a look at mine too, it appears about 3 down the list from this one. Thanks! good luck Bob, I wish I could help you out, but I'm pretty new to my computer and I'm still learning. Tom

after researching this myself on many different sites... I've come to the conclusion that I have to disable 'Windows File Protection' before i delete those pesky .dll files, which is apparently not so easy in XP pro. If anybody could explain to me how to do this in simple child like language I would be very gratefull...

thanks...

ps.. thanks Tommyo, hope someone helps you soon
