Careful - your prejudices are showing :-) There's no way that was a "Windows POS**t". It's just malware that is trying to persuade you to download some trojan-horse-infested piece of "cleanup" (sic) software. To drag this (somewhat) back on topic; I suspect that at least some of the problems being reported are, in fact, just caused by agressive settings in security software. While the first set of problems were my fault (uploading an executable that would only run on a machine with non-distributed versions of the runtime DLLs), the later problems can be explained as not letting untrusted software (my ScanTags.exe) run with access to the local file system, including prohibiting it from becoming a drag-and-drop target. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
