I have been looking for a solution and there appears to be no fix with MS on this.
The only way for this to run is if the server uses a period '.' as the sepporator for decimal numbers otherwise you will receive this error.
Contact your web hosts to correct this problem with your server.

Thank you, Bruce! I changed "," -> "." on my Win2003 server and now all forums work fine!

I've tried to replicate the error on my own machine to try and slove
the problem, but as it was intsalled with English UK as the default it
can still correctly see decimal numbers when using a period '.'

I have changed the decimal sign, in regional settings to be "." still no luck. I have checked if the server now uses ".", and it does.
Ask023, where did you change from "," to "."?

I think it was successful due to Win2003 server using -
I changed ","->"." in Advanced settings in Regional Settings + checked "apply to all users"
I think you may try http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks /bin/kbsearch.asp?article=271587 solution for Win2000 (and ","->"." changes)
Best wishes,
Sergey

Does anyone know of a way to detect what the system is using for
decimal numbers or a work around for this as I can't find any info on
this on the web.

It's alive. Sergeys tip did it.
The following settings works for me:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OLEAUT
VarConversionLocaleSetting = 1 (DWORD)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\InetInf o\Parameters\
SetVarConversionLocaleSetting = 1 (DWORD
HKEY_USERS\.default\Control Panel\International
sDecimal = .
Thx both Sergey and -boRg- for your help. And thx for a great forum
