Hello Again,
Well, I ran the autofix.exe and it did find a problem. But it says
that autofix can not fix that type of problem. They symptom is that I
get a small box labled autoplay that seems to be running through a
bunch of files. It lasts for about 15 seconds and goes away with no
further problem. I have the log printout below.
Can you think of anything else that I might try?
Thanks,
Bob
