    Could not get past the "you need sp1" issue when I know I got it. Attempted the X17-59183 dvd and got all the way to installing step and on one of its restarts, computer would not reboot. Had to do a hard shutdown, rebooted and got the option to rollback the install so I did. Rebooted computer and tried again. 3rd time was the charm! All working and working correctly. Wish I knew why it did what it did! Thanks a bunch for your help. Be lost with out this forum.

    Nice work, Ron.

    Do you have access to restore points after again configuring 20%+ disk space as you had?

I work with a large software suite. The installer for this suite is really just a collection of many stand-alone installers. If SR is on when I run the installation, it takes a very long time. Additionally, since this is a collection of other installers, SR is somewhat useless to use as a...
