| Yoni | This bug affects programs that allocate memory frequently (fortunately, this only affects 99.9% of all programs). :) This patch (which is currently only available for a price via a phone call to Microsoft tech support as haze said) will be included in SP2. Nobody knows when SP2 will be released. (At least, I don't know. Correct me if someone does know.) Windows XP owns, doesn't it? My offerred solution is: Upgrade to Windows 2000. (No, that's not a typo.) :) | March 29, 2003, 8:41 PM |
