441554 2006-03-29 03:49:00 UM........NOT as effective as a repair install drcspy (146)

441557 2006-04-02 23:40:00 Just to let those that helped know what the outcome of this saga.

Surprise, surprise, the mate couldn’t find his XP disk initially. :blush:

So, I rolled back to the first restore point.

Then another surprise, sfc /scannow worked, and an even bigger surprise, it didn’t find any corrupted files.

I then cleaned out all the c..p and Office installed no problem.

Oh, and wouldn’t you know it, having finished the mate turns up with his XP disk! :D

My only regret is I didn’t get a chance to try an “over the top” install to see how it went or if I could. No doubt my chance will come. ;)

So thanks again everyone. :)
