Well John, for one, I am pretty impressed with your skill level only getting under the hood of Windows just 5 years ago. I have been using MS since DOS days writing batch files then on to Windows 3.1. I to (if you can't tell by the signature and avatar) have moved on to Linux but have tried to keep up with Windows because I still enjoy figuring out and fixing what is wrong. You have inspired me to get deeper into learning kernel debugging after this issue. It will certainly make me a better tech for my customers. But with that being said, MY primary OS will continue to be Linux.

You should give it a test drive sometime.

I truely beleive you have the technical aptitude to really enjoy it.
Thanks again for all of the help and guidance you have provided me with this issue.
All the best to you,
Ian
