Thanks Jon,

I found that if I use optimization for speed the program is broken (in release
version). But if I change the setting (project menu) to the default
optimization, the program works (like the debug version). The number of files to
download prevent me from installing tonight the service pack you mentionned. But
as soon as I can I will. Another thing: using level 4 and  the debug version, I
was able to detect a few unsuspected bugs.
