Have already done both previous, all I do is quit the app that is asking "please choose another folder", and unlock unlocks the same. Should be a FIX for this!!?? THAT is what I need, thanks.

I've never heard of that error message and have no idea where it could be originating from; do you? I doubt it's an XP message. What AV/malware programs have you run? Were they EACH updated prior to running them? XP Pro or Home? SP2? If not SP2 I have nothing further to offer. You might want to look into HijackThis and post a log on a suggested site for some assistance in analyzying it. Do NOT post the log here or on a site that's not set up for it. HTH Pop` |
