Hi Kenneth - Here's my "standard" post about this. Sounds like you need
FilterFixer, below.
See here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];270008 It
may not sound like it applies but take the steps outlined there to delete
the Upper and Lower Filters.
You can also use this reg file to handle these deletes (it takes care of
deleting some other things which can cause problems as well):
http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip This is
pretty much the "standard" fix for this type of issue. Backup first so that
you can recover if there are problems (there aren't usually, BTW).
It's recommended by Compaq/HP that you run FilterFixer also when this occurs
to recreate the correct entries, here:
