Works like a charm so far---we can close this thread. thanks Wiz.

well, that worked.

because I made a copy of the default file and changed that to machine.config.

Can I take yours and put it in mine?

I uploaded my machine.config files and the newest emergency log.

So, just a quick thought--

I'm still having problems, I'm wondering if there's anything more I can do up to this point..

I tried to run the Microsoft .NET framework repair tool. No success after that.
