Hi Thomas and Winfried,

Could you please tell me how you launch your COM server?

Our original testing had a boot application that started our main
"service". This boot application was setup up via the registry as
follows:

[HKLM\Init]
"Launch70"="Bootapp.exe"
"Depend70"= 14, 00 <===== Device.exe

I am keen to know what dependencies that you used. We are currently
testing the following:

"Depend70"= 14, 00, 1E, 00, 3C, 00 <===== Device.exe, gwes.exe,
services.exe

It's probably overkill, but we need to understand the problem better.
Have you tried this and did it make a difference?

Thanks in advance
Brian Price
