Oh thanks for that Sixgun That is a great help. I have downloaded the driver so will try this when I get an hour free. Didn't crash last night at all but did many times each night all week. Seems stupid that we have to go through this rigmarole when there is a perfectly good driver available. I never ever crashed before my upgrade to Hardy. Dapper worked faultlessly for years.
