Hi there Duck,

I installed SP3 and lost my internet connection. I immediately uninstalled SP3 and Hey Presto, regained my connection. I didn't see an option for a custom install so I'm wondering how you got around the problem.

Hi Paddy

can I go through this on Monday as we are on our way out shortly and it will take a bit to explain

basically it involved writing a sp.bat file and then running it on your computer so it changes the access denied options etc

However after reading a great deal more I truly recommend the none installation of SP3 until they improve everything has it can cause problems which I have yet to experience however this am it gave a malfunction in my f-secure .. not the whole system but an earlier addition

So till the Moon Day then

Have a grand weekend
