Hi, I was wondering why I (out of all those boxes) had several failures for these tests on some of my XP and Vista boxes. Turns out that you get these failures when MSE is active. I just ran the tests on a clean XP-SP3 box (up-to-date) and no failures. Installing MSE (and downloading the latest signatures) is enough to show a multitude of test failures. Turning 'real time monitoring' off or excluding the test executable makes the tests succeed again. Most of the failures are of the E_ACCESSDENIED nature btw. Does this make sense? If the test failures are valid, should I change the tests to cope with this? -- Cheers, Paul.
