So, digging into the back of my mind I remembered seeing the key for 5.0 when I installed 5.1.
What are the differences between these two? (Keep in mind I'm on Windows XP SP3.)
The reason I ask is because I decided to install 5.0 and see if the STS woes existed there as well, and lo and behold...they don't, so far.

Id hate to get deep into using 5.0 only to bump into other issues not foreseen.
Any insight ?
