I was moved to 4 different computers to try and correct the problem..lol Anyways, the final crash happened when I finished the exam. Overall the test center personal were very apologetic and did what they could to correct the problem. I want to thank all members that post their advice on what materials to study. I would come here weekly as I studied the material for the 290. It was very encouraging/motivitating reading all the posts that were titled "Passed!". My study material were the MS Press, MCSE Nutshell, and TestOut. Study time was around six weeks. Score 718
