    I'm using VB 2005 and .NET 2.0 under Vista build 5472 and get a "Hook cannot
    be created." security exception whenever I try to call the Send or SendWait
    methods of SendKeys, but running the exact same code under Windows XP SP2
    works without any problems. Does anyone have a workaround or solution to
    this problem?

    Thanks,
    Dan
