OK, created the repair cd from the second link. That didn't work either. The repair option reported that there was "nothing to repair."
I have heard that another option my be an "upgrade install" of Vista. Neither the disk from the "How-To Geek" nor my Vista installation CD have this option. Is it perhaps because I have Vista SP 1 installed.
Sheesh! How do I fix these (likely) corrupted files?
Thanks for all the help!
