Charles,

Looks like XP SP1 also changes ntvdm.exe. The updated ntvdm.exe version is
"5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)".

I only applied SP1 at the end of last week so I have not done a complete
re-build of all the binary files. I should do this one night before going to
bed to see if there are any issues with SP1...... I hope there aren't any.

Regards,
Andrew
