Hi Dave,

I'm dead serious when I say this:  you need to install Wapin.  It has 
never failed to fix this problem.  There is a pianist who drives from 
Dallas to Cedar Rapids, IA to record because there is no Wapin SSD in 
Dallas.  It's real.  It works.  It's cost effective.

You don't have be worried about removing it because it didn't work.
