Thanks for the information. But please - as I just replied to different thread - subscribe to this mailing-list before posting to it. Otherwise your message needs to be moderated, and it rarely can get lost by SPAM filters. We had noticed already in the past that in many places MSDN doesn't tell correct information. I checked on my XP and see that this API seems to be present there too. So checking for 0x500 seems to be the right thing.
