Patrick called me at work to let me know that Pacific Bell finally got our phone service installed to our house after he called them again this morning. Used information in Microsoft KnowledgeBase documents Q266169 and Q259283 to resolve the restart problems with James's computer. It took many hours. I used sigverif.exe to find a list of unsigned drivers, then found those drivers in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\ and renamed them to *.old extensions. Restarted and the restart worked. Checked Event Manager, restored one driver called PowerSwitch that Event Manager complained about not starting, and Windows 2000 still restarts properly, so all is well. Worked with Deborah Petrie to upload the School's self study draft documents to the web tomorrow. Prepared James's Change of Proposed Course Schedule form for upload to the web tomorrow. Dinner at an Indian restaurant near us. The food is very good, the service started out bad but got better during the evening.
