Does it mean this happened to everybody who has removed Internet Explorer, which IECore is part of it? How much disk space will be needed if IE is added back? (I won't do it, just want to know a little more.) Thx What I_Broke_My_MHZ is saying is that, since you don't have IE any more (eg IECore) the Standard User Accounts window won't work properly, so instead with the reg hack stated above, you'll use the other User Accounts manager within windows Without needing to install IE.

My initial thoughts would be to install everything before the system restart and the joining to the domain. Past that create a domain account that only has access to the folder you are installing stuff from, set it to be one with a permenant password, make sure you use some kind of password encryption (I can't member the util that does this in a windows install, right this second) and make it a VERY long password as well for security sake.

Unless you patch your version of 98 to work with Windows 2000/XP programs those won't work very well. The express editions you are looking at now all require a minimum of Windows 2000 to get working, also you need to install the .Net framework, which I'm pretty sure doesn't work in 98

If anything that I can see build a Autoinstall CD with all the drivers and such on It, then go from there, basically cut down the amount of time you spend at each computer to a couple of minutes for starting the installation.

with Excel 2003/2000 and the vlookup across Workbooks this can happen almost all of the time. but if you have 2 sheets (tabs) the vlookup should be working. the only thing that I can think of would be the formatting of the cells themselves, are you comparing 2 cells that are formatted the same, or are they different, do some of the cells that are not showing stuff have apostrophes (') in the cells With Excel 2007 it seems to work a little better, Can you show the formula that you are using? and what version of Excel you are using as well?
