Thanks for the tip. I agree it is worth $29.00 to clear up the problem but it
also seem sto me that Microsoft should be addressing this issue instead of
Best Buy. I have BCM installed on a brand new, less than one week, IBM
Thinkpad with Vista business. I have almost nothing installed that is not
Microcoft software and the problem is exactly the same as on my XP laptop
with a whole bunch of different software installed. I understand that the
issue revolves around SQL server but again, MS really should fix the problem.
