This I don't understand because the Express and Custom, both go to the same

ANd the error messafe, The web-site has detected an error ...., SUCKS! I
don't know how many times that comes out with different error codes. Why
can't MS be SPECIFIC!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, using Sysinternals "process

The thread is named, but at that point, it's only of use to
