Thanks southplatte, I still haven't tried installing SP4 under safe mode, I am going to call the MS tech helpdesk this week to see what they say. At present, reformating and reinstalling W2K is not an option, it has taken me months of playing with settings to get this unit the way it is (which could be half the prob) and since I'm on a dial-up connection, I don't won't to go through hours of downloading updates and patches again.
If I reboot into safe made, are all the IIS components and security protocols active? In other words, if I reboot, can I just try installing SP4 from the HDD straight away or do I still need to stop stuff first?
