Well, I reinstalled that, rebooted, still, no luck.Same error.
Not sure if anyone is still following this thread, but here's the ultimate
solution:
Took it to a .net development firm where some friends of mine work. After 2
hours of various .net developers poking at it, a concencus was reached:
- reformat drive, reinstall everything.
Which, 5 hours later, *did* resolve everything.
To quote the very first line in the Windows XP Pro manual:
"Get ready for a whole new experience"
New experience indeed. ;o)
Now, off to find all of my drivers that got lost in the reformat...
