If I do a fresh install it works yes, but that loses all that's on drive
C: including all user base/drive mappings, and support software like
ARCserve and Powerchute. If I do a reinstall to the original directory,
supposedly to keep the above data, I get a system crash towards the end
of the "reinstall".

I did a search on the MS site - I could fine UPTOMP.inf and a README.TXT
but no UPTOMP.EXE alas. Anayone know of a URL?
