It ran successfully, but i still have the issue. In fact, I just noticed that I now have 5 blank icons in control panel, and many CP items won't open. Again, no sound, no mmc, can't install updates, can't reinstall or repairs on anything that is currently not working (they all refer to CLSID or setup not being able to access needed files), I know that is because those CLSID files can't be accessed....lots of them! :noidea:
