Thanks Steve I have now upgraded to 4.9 and all is working fine.
Regards Gordon O’Toole From: M100 [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Adolph Sent: Sunday, 14 June 2015 12:12 AM To: Model 100 Discussion Subject: Re: [M100] Rex upgrade Run the program REXU. Looks like you are doing the 4.7 upgrade. I recommend going straight to 4.9. 4.9 is a full wipe and rebuild.
