Good morning akdpr,
This forum is for helping customers interoperating with Microsoft Technologies via our open protocol documentation. Your issue does not appear to be related to our protocol documentation.
I think that the Visual C++ General Forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vcgeneral/threads/) may be a better place to post your question and likely to get an answer from.
Also, here are several links that should be of help to you, in case you need to contact our technical support organization:
o Help & Support Home' at http://support.microsoft.com/ (there are 'Self Support Options' available on this page).
o 'Select a Product for Assistance' at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/assistsupport
o The Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com/search/
Thanks,
SEBASTIAN CANEVARI - MSFT
