Hi!

I looked for the file nstask32 in my computer and I
didn't find it. I looked for the file win32sockdrv.dll
and I dindn't have it too.

I installed the patch you are speaking about three days
ago and I have no problem with my XP Windows system.

I you want me to look for more files, please tell me.

Bye,
