Gee Craig, I don't know why Jezz gonged you. I thought your singing
was fine. Don't know if this will help, but make sure after you copy
ctl3d.dll into your windows/system directory that you delete or rename
it from your Powwow directory. Do a search of your system and get rid
of or rename any other copies of this file.

Cheers,

Mark
