Hello Jim,
If Paul's method works, you don't need me. If it doesn't, I give you my last trick :
1.) Start your machine in SAFE MODE WITH COMMAND PROMPTS
2.) Log on to your own admin account
3.) Use the link below to enable the real built-in admin.

Administrator Account

4.) Exit safe mode. Back to normal mode.
5.) Logon to the new built-in admin account. Screen back to normal ??

Update,

I went to Pauls link (thanks) to mSoft and "requested" the hotpatch, so it looks like I have to wait for them to email it to me (weird but whatev). Will post if it works when I get it.

t-4-2, I'm on it and will post if that brings any success.
Again, thanks to all for suggestions...U guys are awesome!!
Got my fingers crossed

-Jim
