Hi Sebastian
I think you're right in your analysis and TLG may silently have fixed the
problem, because if you look at the Vision Command installation, you'll find
that some of the SDK DLLs are newer in that release. For fun, I copied the
DLLs across to the SDK and the problem seemed to go away. Hope this helps.
