I now for four times acted as following: I bought a single support call from Microsoft. We together detected that my problem was caused by errors in Microsoft code. They corrected. I paid nothing because Microsoft's support is free if the error was caused by errors of Microsoft. The support was friendly, helpful and quick. That is one reason because I have nothing against Microsoft. Of course, no one paid me the work I did. And there are big problems with Windoze 2k and WiXP, sometimes so big problems that I will not use such systems except if I'm forced to. Windows NT is getting worse. Unfortunately. For security reasons Windows is disastrous.
