Hi jumper, Happy New Year! OK, I've just had a quick play with this. I copied to the System directory and commented out all the IpHlpApi section in "stub822.ini". Unfortunately, after a reboot, my computer was sluggish, with WinGuage showing CPU usage at 100% (normally it's about 33%). When I tried SAPGUI, it started up but then stalled when I tried connecting to the server. When I tried HoverIP, it never produced a GUI. In both cases, I had to terminate these apps via the Ctl-Alt-Del thingie Joe. PS. A small request for ktree9 : If it isn't too much trouble, would it be possible to sort the DLL names listed under, eg. 'kexbasen'?
