Re: XP What? Where?

I'm guessing that when Microsoft tightened up the security procedures in XP via SP3 that it broke something that worked insecurely....I do vaguely recall a scramble by various vendors to patch various stuff at the time....though my memory might be deviating?

Might just need the motherboard BIOS patched? (I recall a machine that had similar issues, a patch from the motherboard vendor resolved the issue)

Albeit the machinetool software likely isn't SP3 compliant for similar "creative programming" reasons
