Colin,

From what you told us, it sure sounds like some
problem within the Win boot partition -- a setup or
Registry issue, maybe something with the existing I.E.
I know relatively little about such things, and this
is why Win consultants continue to make a decent
living. One of these guys, who is quite good at what
he does, gave me some good advice. When you can quote
a specific Win error message, or even describe a
(repeatable) Win problem in a rather specific way, an
online search will often turn up Win advisor sites
like Lockergnome which address your problem, plus a
plethora of personal home pages and blogs that will
point you towards a solution. That's maybe the only
positive aspect to Win being the dominant force that
it is -- others will likely have encountered and
already resolved your problem, whatever it is. This
has proved out for me a number of times. The key is
to get the right search string to feed into Google,
which may take some experimentation.

HTH.
