This is, as I'm sure you have guessed, quite abnormal and shouldn't be happening.

Wow! That's the same thing that the local Porsche dealer says when I to borrow one of
their cars. Strange world we live in.
Have you ever tried calling Microsoft with a problem?

What do *they* say when you ask for free help? <G>
The first step is to take a look at your log files. See what the log entries are when
the file comes in, and when it leaves. That ought to tell you something.
Then, check for the obvious: Is the date/time on your system correct? If, for
example, you keep turning back the clock to keep demos running, that could have the
effect you mentioned. Or, if you have other software mucking around in the spool
directory (a virus scanner not up to the task, for example).
