Not here - *but* I can throw it up onto a VM, if I can find a copy to install.

ok, thanks for going into the trouble!
then try installing the latest xplorer2 version on it and see if it can read its own digital signature? (program property page)

OK. DL speeds around 7-8 MB/s so it will be a few minutes before it is complete, and then I may have to tinker with the VM - I think I've got it set up correctly, but I'll know more in about 30 minutes or so.

The first .ISO I downloaded refuses to boot in the VM to install. I'm trying another I found on archive.org that has SP1 integrated. It's odd, it gives me the weirdest error, "Boot failure. Reboot and seelct proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device - but I've changed the boot device from CD to IDE and the DVD still refuses to load (Yes, I see the discrepancy, in that it says CD as boot device but the attached device is actually a CD/DVD ROM drive lol....)

Like I said - the VM itself probably needs tweaking. Working on it.
