It's been a long time since I did a complete restore, and my recovery disc only come in cd's, no floppy. So much for a repair.
My ISP is Charter and it's either them or a phone modem.
I'm gonna call Charter back and insist they help fix it.
We'll see how it goes.

Sorry to read that by following your ISP instructions you got screwed, the instructions you got from Grandpa and Peerless, in my opinion, are the only ways to go short or a full reformat and reinstallation of Win XP.

Just out of interest, what is the name of this "Security Package" that Charter insist that you install?

I honesty hope you get a proper solution from Charter, if not then uninstall their "so-called" Security Package.

PS. This is the very first time I have ever heard of a "Security Package" that required you to uninstall LW before you it could be installed, and I run over a dozen protective apps on my PC.
