Hi there, you had posted to a very old thread so the first link was an update to the error
code. The second link was about security and the security tab.
Perhaps I should have explained it more but I assumed you would get the drift. I
understand how frustrating computers can be.
I hope you manage to fix your problem.

|I am truly sorry for my boorish reply and I sincerely appologize for it. I
| have only the highest respect for the people like yourself who contribute so
| much of their own time to try to help nincompoops such as myself. I really
| did not intend to yell at you. When I first saw your instructions to the
| earlier question, I followed them precisely up the loss of the security tab,
| so I wrote my first message. In response, you sent me another copy of the
| same instructions. I sent my second response, thinking that you didn't
| understand that I had indeed been through that and was mystified by the
| absence of a security tab.
| Now that you have sent info on how I might find the security tab, I am sure
| all will work out. Again, I sincerely appologize and I thank you for the
| info and you time.
