I can't correlate your post with the Subject line: Is this something that only happened over a network? But then you say it's your desktop and no mention of the network. Personally I'd take the machine back and tell them to restore it to its original state with everythign working, but the network throws a monkey wrench into their possibly being able to do that. Or did you just hijack a thread? If so, start your own new thread for the best responses. Twayne -- -- Often you'll find excellent advice on a newsgroup. Before you use that advice though, consider the ramifications of it being wrong or even dangerous; how important IS that to you? ALWAYS verify and confirm ANY advice from a newsgroup! |
