Ed,

I have a dual boot in my machine and when I switched to Win98 then I had no
problem at all. One of the last things I did was to upgrade my Windows 2000
with the Service Pack 4. By now I will use Win 98 and I'll try to find what's
going on with my Win2k.
But for now I'm sure is not a Bug, so I'll stop bugging :)
