took off 1.1 with that .net uninstall zip tool
http://astebner.sts.winisp.net/Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zipand installed .net 3.0 from here
http://www.filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_3/ and it also installed .net 2.0-why does it do that from that download-does .net 3.0 framework require 2.0 and vice versa
and my window updates....
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB917283)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB922770)
February 2007 CardSpace Update for Windows XP (KB925720)
MSXML 6.0 RTM Security Update (KB927977)
Update for Windows XP (KB934238)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365)
all installed...about time something worked right for me-was getting a headache from all this stuff going on the last couple of days
