Rolf, is Service Pack 1 installed on your home machine?

Hmm,
I'll bump this once then let it drop assuming no one is
interested.

my considering trying other tests.)

The symptoms you describe aren't (AFAIK) something that a setup bug
could cause.
I'd suggest a VMWare or windows install problem is your most likely
culprit.

Actually on top of Win2000. (Using vmware. It is the
only way I have time to test stuff on virgin machines.)
I really appreciate the testing effort you are putting in - it's great.
Hi,
You wrote vmtools and vmware. Is that

Something else?
It's really just idle curiosity. I had never heard of vmtools before,
so I had to go look it up (it's Java XML stuff) and so it doesn't sound
related, but I just thought
VMWare comes with tools to allow the client OS (the one inside the VM)
to interface with the host OS - i.e. mouse release so that the mouse can
go from inside the VM to outside easily. These tools are called.

Robert,
Ah, right. I should have remembered that. I have VMware on this system
(for a couple of months, now) and of course I installed the VMtools. I
use VMware to run Linux under Windows since I now have a client who has
some Java software that has to runs and build on both.
