Just boot the ASD with the "C" key and the calibrate option is on the top of the menu bar. It will take some time and make a lot of fan noise. It will also tell you if it needs to be calibrated. You can use ASD 2.5.8 also:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA MacPro 2.66 Quad Nehalem -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
