Thanks for the link - though I have already read most of the links that have anything remotely connected with the problem - there are a couple that look new. I forgot to mention that I ran two driver scans earlier in the week - one showed no update[listed as digital sig with Microsoft] and the other one on offer I checked with LiteOn - waiting their reply - but LiteOn say the current driver is as the one being used. The one I have always used and worked OK. Thank you for your interest. Antioch
