I've never had any problems with Asus motherboards. I've built about 15 PC's all with Asus boards in and only one of them has had any problems. The one and only Epox motherboard I bought caused me no end of trouble though, so I had to send it back.

Representing classes in xml. hmmm. Shameless plug here, but it sounds like what you're looking for is MyXaml (see sig). Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing

Hi David Thanks for your input. Just thought I would let you know that I have solved the problem. You need to include the following line in the rc file! CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST "GLook.manifest" where Glook.manifest id replaced with the file name for the manifest file for your application. Unfortunately this is mentioned in the help file that I looked at when I first started looking into the problem. One day I will learn to read instructions more carefully.;):doh: Thanks for your help Andy
