Interesting.... nothing has been installed except an stock clean install of the OS? Is an anti-virus installed at the time of the .NET installation, and is it active at the time? >> No telling what caused the damage (the registry cleaners you use to >> 'fix' things can cause errors like this), but you need to use Aaron >> Stebner's tool to remove all .NET Frameworks on XP, and then manually >> download and install only what you need. > >I think I'll go one better and do a new install >without any Framework of any version.

But why are you installing .NET Framework if you have no software that uses it? .NET Framework 4 is not pushed on Windows Update, it is an optional update listed separately. I don't think any .NET flavor is pushed any longer for XP on Windows Update if it isn't already present due to some 3rd-party software. I'll have to look at my clean install on another machine. -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.
