[AG-TECH] AG 2.1.2 on Win2K Professional?

[Cindy Sievers]

Hi Randy,

I get this error sometimes when I have old python processes running.  For 
some reason, XP doesn't kill the processes cleanly each time.  I have to 
bring up the Task Manager, kill all python processes, then restart 
AG.  Mind you, this doesn't happen every time, but 
occassionally.  Otherwise all my machines are running XP and seem to work fine.
