Hi Darryl
Sounds like some OS files got alittle mixed up and I recommend the following:
You might want to try a 15 Trial Version of
Clean Sweep http://www.qdeck.com/
or
Uninstaller http://www.cybermedia.com/
as they are both good programs and clean up all sorts of problems in a system. They are both set by default, not to remove or change any important files and are fairly easy for people to use.
You also might want a program from Microsoft called RegClean. This does for your Registry entries what Scandisk does for your hard drive, in the way of finding errors and correcting them in the Registry (and hey it's FREE.) It's good idea to use this program about every two weeks or right after any "Illegal Operation" messages.
The self installing file can be downloaded from:
http://members.xoom.com/robatkinson/dwnlod/regcln41.exe
Or reinstalling Windows right back in where it is now. Will not screw up your system and user settings will remain the same. Not sure tho if it will correct the problem.
Please use the "Reply To" button in your mail program
to keep messages all together when responding.
Thanks
