@Bobverens
glad it worked out for you
and didn't need to re-instal OS
the 3 SS progs are so important for me that if they screwed up I would re-install os in a heartbeat
I use acronis true image and a complete basic re-instal with most updates and MS progs only takes about 5 minutes (less than 3gb size), and I keep serial backups which are a bit bigger and max 10 mins to restore
you may want to make a note of that
