Nice. I can't honestly remember why I suggested using compatibility mode
-- if it's not required, great.

As an aside, it *is* possible to use that method with XP SP2, albeit
that you have to contact Microsoft and they will (eventually) send you
the hotfix.

And if you can't wait the two days that it took them to send it, drop me
an e-mail.
