Well, it appears I got mine working.....apparently, I had turned something
off in Services (nothing obvious like RPC, Task Manager or System Restore).
After playing around with the information at
http://www.pro-networks.org/XPMaNiA/services.shtml , I decided that
something I changed must have been the culprit, so, I returned everything in
Services back to the default settings and got an auto restore point today.
Still don't know which item (or combination of items) caused the issue, but,
it seems to be resolved. Now I need to figure out why I no longer get a
'warning' popup when I kill my AV or firewall....it used to tell me that
"your computer may be at risk" but, no more. I'll get it......
Heirloom, old and determined
