Re: SlimP3 - XPL = Homeseer 2

["JohnQuirk" <johnquirk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tremendous stuff Tom. I've changed Homeseer to run as a service as
local system, changed XPL HAL to run as a service as local system
too. I also changed the configuration rights (probably not required)
within DCOM config. Somehow it now works.

Thanks very much indeed.
