This is off topic, but for any fellow XP users there is a serious security flaw that will allow malicious html code either in a web site or an email to erase any number of files on your computer. The problem can be fixed by renaming a filename, or by downloading the service pack released yesterday. Since the service pack is a 50+ meg download it may not be possible for some. I recommend at least renaming or deleting the file uplddrvinfo.htm. More details here:
