Hello, I've got 2 completely separate questions:

1:  one user of my (Windows) app started reporting the following error message,
    occurring "randomly":
	RAM PARITY ERROR. CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ADDRESS..
	OFENDING SEGMENT:
	OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND
It sure doesn't come from my .RC file. I'd tend to blame the hardware, but
this apparently occurs only when my app is running? Any idea?

2:  What is the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MCDEX)? Is it available from
    somewhere on the net, or does it have to be purchased? (and for how much?).
