Then play around with the activation loop if that's what you like.

Actually it was. A simple way to get around activation issues. Thanks.

I recall an issue like this during Beta 1 or Beta 2. There was a Microsoft
blog about it but for the life of me I cannot frame a search that finds it.
I suggest you try using
http://windowsconnected.com/forums/55/ShowForum.aspx
and start a thread. Sorry I cannot come up with the blog. I think it had
to do with deleting a file and forcing reactivation one more time. Maybe
another of the TechBeta testers that hangs out here can recall.
