Working on this basis, though, I was wondering if there was any way to make WPKG launch later in the boot process. I even tried hacking the registry to make "WPKG Service" dependent on some other services such as TCP/IP and NetBIOS, to see if that made a difference, but no luck. I am assuming that the problem I'm seeing is essentially a race condition at boot-up and WPKG sometimes loses :-( Dave. -- Dave Ewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computing Manager, Cancer Epidemiology Unit Cancer Research UK / Oxford University PGP: CC70 1883 BD92 E665 B840 118B 6E94 2CFD 694D E370 Get key from http://www.ceu.ox.ac.uk/~davee/davee-ceu-ox-ac-uk.asc N 51.7518, W 1.2016 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
