Let me try one more time. This time I condensed the message and removed
all the previous text. I am sending it to blackbox{([at]})nowhere.xy
"lists". Let's see if I receive the feedback message.

Copy of the text without citation marks:

        ---------------------------------------

  OK, I "solved" the problem. I right-clicked the BlackBox 1.5 icon on the
  desktop, selected "Properties", opened the Compatibility tab, and selected
  Compatibility mode "Windows 2000".

  Then I launched BB, opened the DDCtApi panel, and it started OK.
  DDCtApi is loaded and all the interactors are populated as expected.

  I then unchecked the compatibility and voila! The DLL is not loaded. I then
  set the compatibility again, and voila! DLL is loaded.

  Note, no other changes! I did not touch the PATH. The DLL files are in the
  same places with and without the compatibility.

  I am running Windows XP Professional on this laptop. After Sept 25 there must
  have been Windows Update. Probably more than one. This could have screwed up
  the DLL loading process. But how is that possible? How and why the
  compatibility mode fixed this?

  PS: I turned the compatibility on/off a few times to make sure it makes the
  difference. It does. With compatibility not set the DLL is not loaded. With
  compatibility set to Win 2k it is loaded and the Api panel works as it used
  to in September 2009.
