Normally, I don't get good answers to questions like
these on the ms list I'm in. And yes, there was at
least one captain obviously didn't read my post
response, but someone else sent me this:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421

Not that this group would or should care about a
windows issue. I just figure since I've gotted so much
help here, I'd pass it along in my measely attempt to
contribute.

Thanka all for putting up with my stupid questions,
especially when the're stupid windows questions.
