Hi bcastner
who ever said persistance pays was right.
GetRight was the guilty party.

Test your RAM. I have just been down the same route and discovered one of my Simms was faulty.
Recently changing your Page File has most probably shifted the Simm addresses used from a good area to a faulty area on the Simm.
Some (XP) testers came up clean, but I used a DOS boot floppy utility...

I've discovered another problem with H&SC after an ISP outage this morning and running Network Diagnostics.
It gets to 99% Formatting Results and it hangs (Task Manager says still Running, 0% CPU.)
[Temporarily running without ZApro or McAfee as part of the fault analysis.]
Have your instalation disc to hand.
Go to Start > Run and enter
sfc /scannow
hit Return
This will run System File Checker, repair any / all your damaged system files and should fix the problem

Tried with & without Autodetect - I don't use a proxy.
Also it can't be a quirk of the ADSL Modem / 4xRouter as other computers not affected & 'Did you Know' is updating.

Hi Linney
Have looked at my Hosts file, 256Kb, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, and there were no entries for Microsoft.
Have Checked my ZApro. The only regularly blocked entry (and I don't know why as it seems to have access permission) is 'Generic Host Process for Win32 Services' whos...
