An,

I'll et Paul speak to where he put what on the Swarm web site. But as for 
the error described above, this looks an awful lot like a hardware driver 
problem on your system. (Notice the "IRQL" part.) I'm getting similar stops 
trying to get an ATI TV tuner and a Logitech webcam to work through a USB2 
hub under XP; evidently that's not too well supported yet.

At the bottom of the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) which gave you that error 
message there should be a line identifying the driver that gave XP hiccups. 
Try to search for that driver on your C: drive; the directory where you 
find it might identify which piece of hardware is malfunctioning. Then call 
their tech support, or tech support for your computer system (whichever 
gives the most helpful responses!)

Good luck,
Sven Thommesen
