And your a MS MVP? Thanks for your help with "Canoeone's" problem. No wonder
MS has a bad name and sometimes gets a driver wrong.
Are you the one that worked on the driver in question must be?
Or as a MS MVP you would offer "Canoeone" a solution to his difficulty
instead of the solution you did offer which was none. So much for your MVP
ness helping a stranger out when he needed it.
Is that all an MS MVP can do is nothing to aid in Canoeone's situation?
