Thanks Tracy, I can simply duplicate what you did but wonder how one can tell if removing a key will result in auto rebuilding. Did you know that the combo you used will work from experimentation, others experience, or an understanding of how Windows decides whether to error or rebuild when if can't find something it needs?
I hadn't thought of doing the reload via disk. Maybe that triggers a more complete redo than simply reinstalling from what is already there. Thank very much! Excellent input. - Joe On Tuesday, March 20, 2012 11:02 PM, Tracy Pearson wrote: > >Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:02:00 -0400 >From: Tracy Pearson >To: [email protected] >cc: >Subject: Re: [NF] Any registry experts with a quick answer? > >Joe Yoder <[email protected]> wrote: > >>I have an XP Pro machine that quite connecting to the server on my LAN >>and >>quit getting IP address from a DHCP server.
