I have Win XP Pro running on a Dell machine, and I removed .NET from it (it had been installed by ATI...). I discovered that the 'roll-back' facility of device drivers did not work without it (Dell Driver reset tool). So I had to grudgingly restore it, as I did not want to do without such a basic system function. Summary - the cursed .NET gets deeper than you think (not just 3d party apps).

I'm running an ABS computer with a 1.9g P4 and XP Home SP3. I don't have any program or driver installed that requires any version of dotnet. Guess I'm just lucky. -- John Corliss BS206.

Oops, very well then. I had thought that CHDK had covered nearly all the point and shoot Digic II - IV Canon cameras. Apparently they have dumped the firmware, so maybe its a work being considered at some point? http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/A1100IS

My last camera was a Kodak DX4900. I foolishly updated the firmware and it cost me several functions. I'll never make that mistake ever again. -- John Corliss BS206.
