OT: IT support request. (XP)

You say you have 2 XP machines? You can pull the hard drive out of the troublesome one and connect it to the working one. Then you can access the contents of the drive from windows explorer and copy what you like. (This is of course, a rather crude way to do things)

[Slynky]

A couple of things to try:

Can you boot up in safe mode and try the copy?

Or...

Will it let you rename the other (old) file so you can copy the new one in?
