Then it's got to be a Microsoft issue. You can go to their
website and try to get help with the issue via the internet.

Maybe someone else knows how to open a ticket. I don't.
But if their update program is doing it and you can't change
it, then they own the issue. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If there's no way for a user to change it, then we're
wasitng our time.

If they know how to do it, and I am pretty certain that if it can
be done that they would, then I can't see why they'd keep it a secret.
So give them a shout over the net.

Or try microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter They may know.

Good luck Chris.

Curt
