It's sometimes wise to glance around before/while you are asking. It's
often surprising what one can find just by looking. ;-)
Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:
Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )
A search of this specific newsgroup alone for the past year turns up
several hits - just searching for "954430" in the message body, in fact,
I find I have responded to people with similar issues several times
over. I will repeat the answer I gave here - so it will be out there one
more time for anyone who wishes to search for it. ;-)
Also - you might want, for future reference, present your operating
system edition, version, service pack level, etc in your posting.
Start button --> RUN
(no "RUN"? Press the "Windows Key" + R on your keyboard)
--> type in:
winver
--> Click OK.
The picture at the top of the window that opens will give you the general
(Operating System name) while the line starting with the word "version"
will give you the rest of the story. Post _both_ in response to this
message verbatim. ;-)
