Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I have already tried that and it is
not the solution. As the KB article states it relates to NAV which I do not
have. I did try the change anyway (there was no IRPStackSize in my
registry) by adding one. I get the same error message. Although I don't
doubt that there may be something wrong in the registry. It just wasn't
caused by NAV. Also, the system worked originally and I have always had
Avast anti-virus on the machine.
The only reference I could find where someone had this type of problem was
from an old (2002) Computer.Net site:
http://www.computing.net/answers/win...-98/27087.html
This appears to be the same problem but there was no resolution to the
stated problem.
