This isn't solved and after a lot of trial and,
mostly, error I've conceded defeat. I noticed a
few things on the way which might just be of
interest to someone so I'll put them on record.
Fast User Switching is involved. I have one admin
and one limited account and I found that If I
always logged off one account before logging
on to the other the errors no longer occurred.
This was too cumbersome to be an acceptable
workaround.
Windows Messenger is also involved. I disabled
it for other reasons and found that I could then
switch between logged on accounts without
any errors appearing. That's acceptable and
it's where I've left things. I disabled Windows
Messenger using the registry hack for "Windows
Messenger 4.5 or later versions on on a Windows
XP Home Edition based computer" described at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...en-us%3B302089
I'm not sure about the relevance of this last
bit but I'll put it in anyway. Somewhere during
the odyssey the Service Control Manager started
generating system log errors with Event IDs of
7023 - "The Application Management service
terminated with the following error: The specified
module could not be found". Since the Application
Management Service is not supported in XP Home
(and Appmgmt.dll is not supposed to be there
to be found)I changed its startup configuration
from Manual to Disabled. That stopped the errors
and may have cured a (then) newly developed
tendency for my ADSL connection to drop out
occasionally.
