Bert,

OK, here is the only sr entry (Dec 23, 2005):

"The System Restore filter encountered the unexpected error '0xC0000043'
while processing the file 'xango' on the volume 'HarddiskVolume1'. It has
stopped monitoring the volume."

Here is the most recent srv entry (Nov 25, 2005)...a repeating entry:

"The server's configuration parameter "irpstacksize" is too small for the server
to use a local device. Please increase the value of this parameter."

By the way, xango.com was a legitamite website (health products) that I
visited around that time.

Does this help?

Thanks!
Scott
