Well the HD is fine, I just ran chkdsk over night.

Well, the network died because there is a bug in Windows XP, that
resets your static IP, in my case in the 10.x.x.x range to 0.0.0.0.
Using something other than 192.168.x.x is asking for problems.

No the service was DHCP which had some dependency issues and refused to start.

There is no virus, since I got eset.com excellent NOD32 running on all
boxes, and just to make sure I pulled the C: drive and plugged it into
a clean machine where I scanned it over night.  So, the drive is good,
and it has no viruses.

As for the old install I'm positive.  It seems I was running some
tests with it at one time and forgot to uninstall it.  Also, it was
recognized as such by the new RealVNC install which tried
unsuccessfully for some reason to update it.

Now what I'd really appreciate from you is a complete list of all the
files installed by your software, as well as all the registries
entries it creates.  I will have to remotely edit the registry and try
to bring this box back online if possible without reinstalling
Windows.

So far I have identified a few files that came with it including
vncmirror.sys v1.7.0.0.  Sorry I cannot provide more info as to what
product I installed.  The installer is on the dead box somewhere.

Thank you.
