Hello John,
Even though the Detonator drivers USUALLY perform better than the Elsa
drivers, some times they are not as reliable (we have had Detonator drivers
that crashed win2000). My suggestion is that you try to use the latest
Detonator drivers, but when you run into difficulty, try the latest Elsa
drivers or even older Detonator drivers.
Take Care,
