I've seen a few of your posts here, DB100547. What 's your day job? Bailiff,
traffic warden, vehicle clamper? You seem to have the right characteristics

I was cursing Microsoft the other day over SP3 - then I found out that the
problem was probably caused by HP (Compaq) installing the wrong OEM Windows
version (Intel instead of AMD). If you want help, then this place is easy to
find and there's loads of helpful people here. If all you want to do is knock
MS, then don't bother coming here.
