Did you try the link in my last post? I zipped it up and posted it in a thread at another board. Just so folks like you don't have to wait.
Glad you got it.
They have a board here, but the connection is also very slow.

Go here and download this "free" software. Use the http site from Norway and do some reading. One of the features is a disk wipe that is guranteed to exeed government standards.

You should try typing from a command prompt:

It will show what ports are listening. Do it right after boot so you have no programs open.

Try this: Start>Run and type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll
