Will a 32 bit live cd boot okay if everything is 'ok' with the system? She upgraded to sp3 on XP ... BEFORE she heard about some registry problem. It will boot, but not connect to cox now and she is burning a puppy linux os to see if possibly it will connect. Need to know before ASAP before she goes home this afternoon from work and attempts to bootup. It is used at home for work also, so needs to be up and connecting. Please don't tell me to tell her to switch to linux as she HAS to run xp as she does training type work for others on xp!! Linux I know, is better, but this is one instance that someone MUST use what others are using so everything renders the same. Ed Culbertson Ed/ke7feg Did I mention, 2/23/07 the FCC dropped all cw (AKA Morse code) testing for any class of license as a ham? Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
