Default For Noel and Mike.

Ben,

jr6300 ought to learn to use the KB correctly.

"Here's an interesting item from the MS Knowledge Base dated October 18,
2005, but it appears they want you to beg & possibly pay for
it.............

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;278368"

First point, that "patch", which of course has absolutely nothing
whatsoever to do with the problem reported in that thread, has been
available since 2000, NOT October 18 2005, which was the date when the
article was last reviewed and, secondly and far more important, such
hotfixes are and always have been free provided the user can show they are
experiencing the problem fixed by the patch. Prior to 18 Oct 2005, the
article had been revised on 17 Dec 2004 and before that on ...... and
first posted in the fall of 2000. I actually have a copy of the article
as at February 23, 2001 in my archive and which varies very little from
the current article other than that it is called Q287368, Microsoft not
dropping the Q until a couple of years later.
