| I have not made it clear: - by following the link that db suggests, I come to
a point where the buit-in utility requires the use of a folder
'C:\windows\system32\autoconv.exe' It appears that THAT FOLDER does NOT
exist on my computer. My question was [still is] is there a way to get
proceed ? Can I pick up that folder somewhere ?

There is something wrong with your search because that particular folder
contains nearly all of Windows XP. In the off chance that you may have
upgraded from Win2000, you may find it elsewhere.
On my system, from the command prompt, I can move to that folder by entering
cd %windir%\system32
The result of this command is
C:\windows\system32
In short, if you are running XP, then your disk has the system32 folder.

Jim: Thanx for your posting - I don't mean to argue, simply to respond: I
am running XP, SP2 - and when I entered as you suggested, the message was
'The system cannot find the path specified' I am planning to call MS in the
a.m.

It's not asking for a folder, it's asking for a file: autoconv.exe
A copy of the file should be in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache folder.
You can copy it from there to the system32 folder. If the file is not
on your hard drive extract it from your Windows XP CD and place it in
the C:\windows\system32\ folder.
