Hmmm... USB drivers maybe? Not sure, just throwing that out there.

Well Colin, I took it apart. A spring flew out that looked as if it might be
important. My lad said he could see some muck or a hair or something, he's
obviously got better eyesight than me. Anyhow I gave it a blow and
eventually managed to get it all together again, spring and all.
IT HASN'T FROZEN SINCE!!!
Fingers crossed.
Thanks for your help
Doug
