[plug] Windows Briefing

[John Breen]

Except it wasn't WIN98, but 2000.  I would wager, having looked at my
PC's setup that this is indeed the case.

Cheers,

	Windows NT 4,95 and 98 all directly modified the ICU (?) (Plug
and play
	configuration) data. With the beta versions of NT 4.0 it used to
	sometimes corrupt this data and the only fix was to reset the
data via a
	jumper on the motherboard. Maybe that is what Windows 98 has
done...
