That did the trick... Thanks!

I should say that there was one other update that coincided
with the http.sys (Update for Windows XP KB887742) and it
was a security update for Windows Messenger (KB887472).

I've forgotten about system restore... first time I've used it.

It feels good posting from my own computer again.
