Re: Running D3 on XP-PRO but the D3 service won't start.

Hi
I doubt that it is a service pack problem as I have D3 running on the latest
XP-PRO Service Pack 2. Also it is extremely unlikely that RD a Microsoft
partner would use something that vanished from the later release. I suspect
help desk laziness with that sort of comment. Quite possibly CompUSA,
whoever they are, did it incorrectly.
