[Dx4win] vichw11.sys woes

[Steve Harwood]

Hi Tom,
I have a similar problem here with my laptop running XP Home. I get the 
error missing vichw11.sys message if I try and start DX4Win after I have put 
my laptop into standby by closing the lid down. If I boot the machine from 
cold all is well so I can only assume its something to do with XP putting 
the stand by mode. If I leave DX4Win running then suspend the laptop it 
resumes itself OK so that's what I do for now.
