Hi Rich,

>In other words, it could have dozens (hundreds?) of specific causes. There can't be such a thing as Microsoft "fixing the C000...5 error." But they can find and fix some of the other things which sometimes lead to it, as they are found.

Exactly what I think. Especially if you look at all the different occasions where you get a C0000005 error, with dangling references, with a missing DCOM installation, sometimes with COM access, sometimes because of a driver, and so on...
