Thanks Mike. However I think this process is over my head. I did find
a copy of ntdll.dll dated November 2006 in a backup folder. I tried to
copy/replace it into the Windows\System32 folder and access was denied.



Is it possible to use DOS to copy/replace the file? If so, how do I get
to DOS.

Thanks,
