John,
My v3.0.1.4 is corrupted and will not run at all now and will not even
allow itself to be deleted entirely for a fresh install! Must have
some HAL coding lurking in there. I have reverted to v3.0.1.3 for now.
V2.76 is fine and gives me no grief and I shall leave it at that.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Regards,
Mel
