Will,

Wish that were true but the only way to get it is to pay which is what I
was told when I called.  I have 3 machines that I bought with WinME
installed.  If you are able to get the patched serenum.vxd file by just
calling, please do so.  Many of us would be most appreciative.  I have
looked for patches but the only ones I have found reduce the time DTR and
RTS are active during boot but do not eliminate the problem completely.
We do get the tech CD's here at work and I will look them over more
closely.

73,
Larry, W0QE
