Yeah, somebody stroked your rod. I'm really impressed. Why don't you try to actually help someone, instead of lurking for a cookie-cutter answer that someone happened to be able to use. By the way, read the actual post. It's not positive for you, brother.

We worked on the prob for over 2 hours on the phone and after he took control of my 'puter using "easy access" software...we got SP3 installed...after scores of similar error windows (failed to hook) kept coming up!
He had never heard of such a warning! He also suggested that there was some conflict with my sound card (?) and directed me to a microsoft page explaining some conflict with AMD processors (which i have)!!
Anyway...i have sp3 after much hand wringing and 3 hours of time!
Thx again.
