Hi Wolfgang,

*> Are you running your program in debug mode? You should have gotten an
error message with the code above.*

I wasn't b/c it typically runs slower than release mode... Ok I just
finished installing a debug version and it gives an error message. Wow,
that would've really helped me solve this problem sooner.

Thanks for the help,
Chad
