Hi Patrick,

I've just retested xap-meteor on XP Pro (SP2) with the same results :o(
Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
Just let me know if you require any more details.

Many thanks,
Andy.

Hi Patrick,<br>
<br>
I was testing on XP (Home) SP2 - I can probably try XP Pro or Win2K

I agree that this is odd behaviour especially as no one else seems to have
