Sounded like you had a dead HDD there for a while. [T] Well not 'dead' ..

[T] That's what I have since seen on the Libby .. a completely clean a functional machine, including a 3Com ethernet card.

I've looked in Autoexec.bat and Config.sys but see nothing untoward) and getting the power saving not to leave the machine without some mouse clicks but with a moving pointer? Ho hum ... All the best Matt and thanks again ...
