neo THANK YOU! you saved me from reinstalling windows my symptoms were: -Windows Sidebar messed up blanks -Windows Media Player unable to launch -Services management console was blanked out -Internet explorer was messed up wouldnt load many pages such as hotmail even! facebook kept giving that i have scripts turned off but i continuously reset the browser setting and turn them on and off with no results. -Windows incapable of sleeping or shutting down or hibernaating (this i havent tested yet wanted to reply here before I try it) the worse by far was incapability of sleeping, or shutting down hence u have to make sure all docs and sheets are saved and closed before performing because I end up making a hard shut down. also I wanna ask what are those commands precisely and why didnt the last oen work for me? I dont know which programs would require XML but i do have MS Excel does it use that and if it does why the last command gave me error. so now im off to test the sleep then the shut down... cheers yall... **YUP sure works just s got back from sleep thats most i care about, I realy wonder what the commands are so I dont forget them later or how to find them again:) ** I tried was wondering if xml was not paart of my programs so I tried the command on msxml.dll (didnt work) then msxml2.dll (didnt work) then finaly msxml3.dll worked this time not sure why. Sidebar calender not working but I can live with that now that i have sleep and media player back.
