Thanks, I tried that first... It is probably a bug in CompanionLink but I
thought I'd try here to see if someone else has experienced this.
In another posting on another forum, somewhere on the net, a guy said that
the culprit was wmplayer.exe launching when you cradle the PPC. He could
make WMDC not crash by killing the process in Task Manager but either my
fingers are too slow or my PC is faster than his.
Thanks,
Lon
