ActiveHome Pro Crashes on Startup

[jd]

Sorry, accidentally posted this in the
general forum. Reposting here.

My setup:  WinXP SP2  Initially downloaded
AHP plus latest  update, both fresh
installs    When I start the exe, the main
window comes  up along with the
registration dialog. I  immediately get an
unhandled win32  exception error. After
starting a debug  session with VS.NET, it
says the error is:  Unhandled exception at
0x12986fa0 in  ActiveHm.exe: 0xC0000005:
Access violation  reading location
0x00000000.    The x10net.log has several
entries from me  trying to start the app,
and the last entry  is
always 'QueryHardware'.    I'm stuck.
