I had to give the machine back to the client... I will probably ask the client o uninstall SP3 and then install the hotfix - it would be easier for him to do that than trudge through the registry editor. Since Chris bit my head off for bnot being nice, I would like to thank you, your family and bless you in the name of Father, son and holy binary spirit. May the yEnc Lord be with you.

And Microsoft may or may not issue an updated hotfix for any issue not corrected in SP3. I'd been there with the UAA/HD audio stuff, which came in the form of a hotfix for XP SP2 only. This creates an "interesting" situation, and that is where I learned of the trick to make Windows temporarily report the "wrong" version number to let hotfixes install. (There are people who claim the UAA audio bus stuff comes with SP3, but I don't think it does.) Microsoft has since released a hotfix for UAA on SP3. > May the yEnc Lord be with you. That's a new one on me! :-) I hope it works out one way or another. Since the computer obviously could read those cards at one time, it should be able to read them again. Anyway, have a happy new year. I would like to know if you get it fixed, so post back here with the results. William
