I just tried also to boot with ME diskette/minimal and ran scanreg /fix
to be
sure there were no registry problems that might be related to lost keys.
Still
no fix.
Anyone got solutions that haven't been mentioned so far? I'm pretty
desperate to get this going without wiping the drive and starting over.

Robert............ I started this thread, have done a lot of research into
the problem, done all that has been advised, and still nothing. Like you, I
still lose the Net after 10 -- 15 minutes. Tomorrow morning, it's the
Windows ME boot disk and installation CD time!!!! That'll fix it once and
for all. The problem will probably remain an unsolved mystery to you and
me. Most of the good advice we've gotten concentrated on things NOT related
to the TRUE problem: the issue of losing the Net after 10 -- 15 minutes,
always, then all being well again temporarily after bootup.

Good luck, and have a happy re-format!!!!!
