As for re-loading XP... arghh... yes, last resort... it's just that I'm in the middle of a huge project, had a drive fail and crash and I just got done loading a fresh copy of XP, digging up all of the drivers, re-loading 100GB of software and data, so the thought of doing it all a third time (besides completely losing a major client) isn't my first choice if you know what I mean.
Best regards,

Try a repair Install of XP, bakup date, but this method should not wipe off any data http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
