All "sending the data to microsoft" does is get stuff it into a database of user-mode application compatibility problems. The problems in the database are addressed, I suspect, by popularity. They are also probably not addressed by talking to end users but rather by talking to application developers themselves... e.g. "Ahem, yeah company XYZ we have a bunch of reports of your application ABC locking up under XP. Here's what we know about why. Any chance you get it fixed soon?". Anyway, I wouldn't stay home waiting for a response from MS. Your problem is noted... and now unless like 50M other people have the same problem MS is not likely to spend a single minute debugging it anytime soon. Note this is just my suspicion about how this "send error report to Microsoft" stuff works. I have no knowledge of the procedure, really. But call it an educated guess. Scott
