Thanks, Ayush. They sure make that one hard to find, don't they? :)

What I didn't know is that as part of the process, the utility scans a database to see if you problem has a known cause. It then will redirect you to a more infomative entry in tht database. Imagine my surprise when I had a windows error message come up when I inserted a CD which invited me to send an error report. So I sent the error log, and up pops a window telling me that my problem is caused by a piece of software called TIcalc (or something similar). The only problem (as I'm sure you've already guessed) is that I don't have any such software installed or have ever had it installed.
