OT: Microsoft XP SP 2 update Issues.

[Atrocities]

I finally was able to fix it.

I went back through the registry and double checked and sure enough I missed ONE file. I deleted that and restarted the PC and now I can access system files without that damn install pop up.

There goes 8 hours of my life that I will never get back. If you use MS support, pay via credit card then dispute the charges. When MS calls tell them that the tech was nice and helpful but the problem came back. Which it will and you will just be out your money.

Now if I can only get that Compaq POS to talk to my HP POS via the network, I would be happy.
