I think I have almost run out of things to investigate ! One difference between the machines that work OK and the one that does not is that CdC is loaded on the D drive of the machine that does not work. Could this be the problem ? Is anyone else running CdC from a drive other than C ? If so can you get the Iridium Flare generation to work ? Thanks John
