Any suggestions?
Yes, put the screwdriver into the screwhead, and give a few firm taps on the end of the screwdriver with a blunt instrument (say, an old ME-Super) - the try turning it. Repeat until it gives. Note that the most important thing with screws - especially cross-head screws (Phillips etc) is to apply downward pressure while trying to get them to release - and that the driver be of exactly the right fit :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
