215155 2004-02-15 07:57:00 Are having some success, had to reinstall IE5 which was current, so I could then install IE6.

Then tried a fix suggested by "Davsdads" of creating the missing file.
This changed the wording of the startup warning, so are getting closer.

Bit reluctant to go deleting anything else without good cause.

Re diagnostic software:
I don't have the other anti spyware prog you suggested running.

Definitely 98ME, unfortunately.
If you know how I could see the autoexec.bat file, please tell me.

215156 2004-02-15 08:12:00 there is no such thing as 98ME !

did you try that last suggestion?

I finally got with microsoft to find the correction. They told me that you have
to disconnect any printers, scanners, modems (especially if you have cable) when
you do your system restore and make sure that you remove any or all other antivirus
programs before installing Norton 2002 on your system. The missing file is an internet
file and if your plugged into the net through your modem when you do a system restore
it omits that file during the restoration. It's the only way to get that error message
to stop coming up. So , you'll need to disconnect all your external hookups and
do another restore. thanks for responding back. I hope this helps you solve your
problem. Thanks, Dave.

Taking into consideration the time & effort involved in following your last sugestion.
We have decided to cut our losses & leave well enough alone.

Thanks also to the other guys who offered assistance.
