Cheers eddy,

Tried safe mode, can’t delete wintools (message ‘in use’)

Its not just SP2 i can’t download its any security udates, i’m not really up on the regestry etc…, but i can re-format the drive and take the computer back to original install from master CD’s.

At the momnet i can’t even get into the dsl modem to set up the firewall as the browser looks for a web site!!

thanks

Phule( and i damn well feel like one)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
