okay, here is the story. my win2k server box which hosts my website is being a pain. it keeps telling me this:

then when i hit "OK" it gives me a message that say "INF installation failure. Reason: No signature was present in the subject".

is there a way to get around this or something?

Check to make sure the Setupapi.dll file has a version number of at least 5.0.2195.4806 (I believe that file version was released with SP3).

You may want to check out the ...\winnt\setupapi.log file for anything suspicious looking (just to pre-warn you, the log file can be quite large). I'd also suggest running sfc /scannow (System File Checker) from the command prompt...it's possible the setupapi.dll file may be corrupt.

If that doesnt work, you may want to try uninstalling sp4 and use sp3, it may work then, then once you get it dl'ed just go back to sp4.
If that fails, try using Yahoo!'s version of IE6.(the same thing except for a few minor changes)

Can you disable checking of Digital Signatures in Win2k Server? I can't remember.

This is a known SP4 bug, do a Windows update, I think M$ released a patch for it...
