thanks pa bear it was the norton site that showed to modify thru regedit and
disable the system restore as viruses could be hiding in there and just be
reput back in on retsart.. my computer is working but is slow and seems
unsteady i tried to load in ms update pack 2 and it loads only halfway still
with a ACCESS DENIED "ka thump" pop up and then it unloads so that may be
why i,m running slow is there a tool or way to repair the file i deleted in
regedit? thanks for all the help dan
