Pegasus, this was the same advise given by someone else, I followed the
instructions given and found everything as it should be. I can't understand
why everything shows the devise to be working normally but obviously it is
not. The other concern I have is that it all seems to have started after
downloading Service pack 2. Just a quick glance through some of the other
posts has shown that this pack has been causing a lot of problems. I've sent
of an e-mail to Microsoft so I'll see if they can resolve the problem. Thanks
for your input, will follow up your other suggestions
