It cannot hurt to try. ;-)
For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft
subsidiary for support issues with security updates, visit the Microsoft
International Support Web site:
<http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx?rdpath=4>
North American customers can also obtain instant access to unlimited
no-charge e-mail support or to unlimited individual chat support by visiting
the following Microsoft Web site:
<http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&prid=7552>
In the U.S. or Canada call 1-866-pcsafety.
Elsewhere call the local number for paid support and ask for the free help
as outlined above--the call may not be toll-free, but there's no charge for
the help.
Maybe someone else can conjure up something else to try.
Good luck
