For anyone who is interested I have just installed SP2 from CD. It went in clean, the system is running very sweet and I did not have to monkey with any files to get things to work properly. Of course I made backups of my system.

There would be far fewer problems if more people would do their homework before upgrading. There is no excuse for not backing up your data when performing such a large update. Most people don't bother. Glad things went smoothly for you Teri :) Hope this helps, Sandman --------------- Which of the following is true? A. God created man B. Man created God
