this may be related to mysql since this is a mysql database project... it has 
been 3 or 4 months since i tried it on the w2k machine... i'm pretty sure that 
it was working there before i starting working with it on the vista box...

i did find something in a zabbix support area that speaks of adding this 
capability to older OS' that do not have it so i may be wrong on my memory of it 
working with mysql on the w2k box... that box has to talk to a remote mysql 
server for its database access whereas the vista box is running a local instance 
of mysql... mysql version(s)? not sure but the project's code is using the 
mysql51 and mysql51conn units so i'd say mysql v5.1...

hummm...
