I have the same setup on both machines ... no Divx but the same spy
removers ... Ad Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Spyware Blaster. On
the PC, though, I _did_ have a program known as DirPrn, which I removed.
But it hasn't helped. I hope somebody can help me find a cure for this
irritant, because, other than this, SP2 rocks!

Thanks again.
