    5.0.1 works...5.0.3 (12/29 & prior) doesn't on Windows2000 Server...please help.

    Dean

    OK, moved the directory with wma files out of reach of
    the slimserver and all is now fine, 5.0.3 works.

    So, the wma.pm error that occured is new from 5.0.1

    Thanks for the assistance

    James
