Line master foot switches will last almost forever. The place I worked at in high-school (1965~1969) had half a dozen or so that were old back then. A few years ago I went back home, and stopped in to see how my former mentor's business was doing. The SAME switches were still in use! How do I

Was it the PC that locked up, or the program? An easy way to tell is to hit the Caps Lock key. If the Caps Lock light on the keyboard comes on,  you still have keyboard control, and the PC is running OK. Did you try control-alt-delete to bring up the Task Manager so you could kill PSDR? Jim
