    WinXP SP2. Perl 5.8.8.
    
    Works for you? Perhaps because your 'My Video' dir exists?

      Yeah, the tests are a LITTLE bit crude about what things are expected to exist on each OS.
      
      So far while Win2k doesn't expect a couple of newer things, I'm assuming all XP will have a My Videos, because my laptop WinXP Pro has it.
      
      This might be a bad assumption...
      
      I'll change the tests to not assume a videos directory on XP.
      
      Out of curiosity, can I get more info on your box?
      
      Is is WinXP home/pro/server/etc?
      
      What (in the debugger) is the full result you get from
      
      use Win32;
      
      x Win32::GetOSVersion();

        There's no secret, but there'll be a delay.
        I'm at home on holiday, running Win2K, and the laptop with WinXP is locked in a cupboard at work.
        One day I'll go and collect it...
