I have to Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you again!
I have been pulling my hair out the last 5 days, including uninstalling
Service Pack 2, scanning for Viruses, Browser Hijacks, plugged in cloned
drive which acted the same (really through me for a loop). Below is a list
of issues experienced by this problem:
1) Cannot View Network Connections
2) Cannot Run XP System Restore
3) Cannot Browse the Internet (unless in Safe Mode)
4) Cannot view properties in "My Computer"
5) Tried a Clean Boot (apparently APC drivers were not unloaded)
6) Could not run Firewall
I cannot thank you enough!
-Bob
