I did the scannow, without any prompts to add my cd. I went to your suggested download IE site, and after I entered my info, and clicked "next", nothing happened. Any other suggestions? Also having quite a few Javascript errors such as: "Internet Explorer Script error: URL...

I believe this has to do with Javascript, but I can't fix it. Was in web site, and I was clicking a link within. I have gone into this site on another computer with IE6 without any problem. Any suggestions? Regards, Vidman

Thanks Bob, I went to the MS web site and manually downloaded SP2, but it still will not give me updates. Bcastner, thanks to you also, as your suggestions in the past have really helped me, however, the fix that you pointed me to was no applicable in my situation. Live update had been running...

I had to "restore" my computer, and was re-doing my oe6 and set a password in accounts to "remember password", yet, when I launch oe, it still asks for the pw. When I go in there, the window for the password is empty. I found the fix recommended by MS, and went into "protective storage system...

Weeelll, I tried switching letters in safe mode from K to J, which was not being used(however K wasn't either) and still not visible. I do appreciate the advice, folks, and the good thing is at least the drive works! I'll keep you posted when MS gets back to me, and thanks again, you folks are...

Bill, I got in touch with MS, and downloaded the patch, unzipped it, and entered their secret password, and rebooted to no avail. I emailed back the techie at MS it did not work, and I am sure he will get back to me soon. I guess, rather than go out and buying a firewire, I will just wait, as...

bcaster, I can now see why you get the top marks..Your're the Man! Thanks, Vidman BTY, There were 2 other fixes that other people suggested, and I would like your feedback on it, before I do the hotfix, as MS was kinda saying don't use this until the next sp comes out. Anyway, this external...
