ok the problem does still exist athough i have a rather old nvidia 2 mx/400 there is still compatible java script available in their archives files to which mine are installed and compatible, so it may be due to another scenario, possibly my 3 day old registered M/soft cd home sp3 contains the same virus that spiders cd had ! what are the chances ...i would not think so due to lack of posts regarding the same error info. if anyone can ellaborate on this topic i would be extremely interested thank you. what is syntax this occured on the old xp pro with the same error number!! thanks
