I guess this is the n+1st reason I haven't written a Word document for a number of years, at least nothing important and not longer than a page or two. When I write something for real, it's in HTML format.

BTW, is there any possible reason why would SQL server want to access the Web when it boots?

Also, what is lsasrv.dll and lsass.exe (decribed very thoroughly as "LSA Executable and Server DLL (Export Version)") and why they keep trying to access the other machines in the network using the isakmp port (none of these names are mentioned in the w2k help)?

Fox is the only reason I'm using Windows.
