For assurance purposes, I went through mtu's disable features. The only one I couldn't figure out on vista was how to disable show windows content features. Everything else was right on target.

Windows is update and has been since the beginning. I run an update daily.

I want to thank all of you for your help. I know that me and my problem are very frustrating.

That answers two of the three questions.

1-You can access the folder where the KMA files are stored, so Vista has not made it a hidden folder and denied you and Hoster access.

2-The files are within normal range and probably aren't corrupted.

3-I don't use Vista and didn't realize they had changed the attributes info.

Regarding your updates, do you use EXPRESS or CUSTOM install? If you've been using EXPRESS, try doing a CUSTOM install, as Dale made reference to early on. There are some updates that companies software requires, that Microsoft doesn't deem important, that you will get with CUSTOM install if you take everything. I'm bringing it back up because it's important, and in all the hassle you could have easily missed it.
