Tried to do an upgrade from the DVD and it also failed. Removed the preupgrade downloaded stuff, and it failed again. Did a new install and it worked, but this was just a test machine, so the hardware seems to be ok. Will have to try on another machine and see if only a clean install works, or if I can find what the issue is? +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
