| Thank you, MEB.
|
| First, let me apologize for not posting the full error message. The
reason
| was the error message was long and I had no way to copy or electronically
| send it to this computer. The only option was to write everything by hand
| and type it again here.
|
| I did restore an older registry and that solved the problem.
|
| Thanks again for your help!

| Satish
