Hmmm, ooops, to be honest I almost didn't bother checking this to
confirm, as I assumed it would obviously be the latest service pack.
However, it would seem that I am very wrong, it is Windows 2003 service
pack 1.

I'll see if I can get all the latest service packs installed and
updated, and then re-test and see how it goes. Thanks so much for your
suggestion.

Adam
