Thanks for the help Pinky, its very much appreciated.

Ive spent over a hour reading microsofts tech support and looking for other fixes. Ive tried lots of stuff and nothing has worked.

I dont want to have to reinsall win 2k yet again.
Would the system recovery disk procedure be able to fix this ?

Otherwise is there any way to reinstall windows without having to download the damned servioce packs again as it takes hours on my 56k connection and i cant be arsed.

Thanks yet again..
