Posted September 23, 200816 yr What do you mean as far as a problem with the OS?? Any solutions? Another symptom is that when I get errors and I try to send reports to MS it returns and normally it would give a message to me and tell me why...when I click the link it says that the file is not associated with any program go to folded and select a program for it...dont know if that helps or not.
