Are you running and XP compatible version of BENT?

AFAIK v8.6 is only certified for W2K. XP support will available after the
public release of XP.

I thought 8.6 was "supposed" to work on XP. At least that's what the word
is from MS on the XP beta newsgroups.

I just double checked the Knowledge Base and the only supported "XP's" are
citrix XP on W2K

See http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/237486.htm

v8.6 may "work" on XP, but until Veritas certifies it on that OS, you're
probably on your own with problems like this.

You can always look at beta.veritas.com to see if the beta for the next release
is still open, but I'm pretty sure that that particular beta is closed by now.

If this error occurs on Windows 2000 what should I look for?
