|
| It seemed to work. But the much larger patch (about 5.5M) that
| everybody is talking about didn't even run on mine. It said something
| about not working in win32.

| Shouldn't people be using the patch above instead of the huge one?

I don't know what patch 'everyone' is referring to at that size. Patch
for Q823980, related to the RPC problem, is 1216 KB for windows XP - not
5.5 MB. A link directly to it is http://tinyurl.com/ir5h
