Hi Brian,
**I just restored my TS's**. I was reluctant, cuz I'm not sure I really
understand the concept of the fix.
I can apply the fix... it's really the concept that troubles me????

As I just wrote to Glen, w/new install and having *all criticals* you must
first but the shortcut fix on your desktop, next you must actually reinstall
Tshoot.inf, which my feeble brain tells me.... bad action, cuz this action
removes the protective kill-bit in the registry. I'm not quite sure, but I
believe this as being true.

After, you reinstall TS's via your OS CD, W-TS's DO work again inside
W-Help, mine do?

So... I **must not use W-Help to access them**. I should **only my
shortcut** which I have not added to my start menu, correct?

If you are fully updated right clicking tshoot.inf and choosing install will
not work to restore the troubleshoot wizard. I'm now beginning to think
another update is a 3rd cause once again for the loss of the tshooter, even
killing Georges. I just checked one of my 98SE machines which has Georges
Tshoot and it does not work as before. Time for a little troubleshooting
myself to see if I can backtrack and find the cause.
IMHO, this looks to be the work of MS pushing XP. If the tshooters are gone
on 98 systems perhaps then the end user will upgrade to XP and if that was
to be the case, then MS is just putting another nail in their coffin.

Hello group,
I have a new install of Windows and I have installed all critical updates,
therefore my TS's are not working as I would expect.

My question, I do have the fix that MS-MVP George (Bindar Dundat) has
created.
However, it does not restore the troubleshooters??

I know what will restore them... reinstalling them, via rt. clicking on

the
Tshoot.inf file and having my OS CD ready.

I did the above action on a previous fresh install of Windows-98-se after
getting all critial updates.

This is the question;..... If I reinstall my T-shooters via rt. clicking
Tshoot.inf file, *am I not removing the kill-bit in the registry that is
suppose to be protecting me*??

Thanks for clarification.
