Well, Godfrey, I don't know what kind of adapter Cotty bought. I've read from few people on Russian forums who bought cheap Chinese adapters, that things such as incorrect infinity were being observed. I am not saying that Cotty should be feared or panicking. In fact, I think he is not that easily intimidated :-). But if he tries another adapter and things start working for him - why not?
