HP has a FIX tape for it that you should have received. Make sure that that is loaded. I do not know if that is related to your problem but it could be worth a shot Regards (And good luck) -- Rob Logie EMAIL: logier@cheops.qld.tne.oz.au Telecom Australia FAX: +61 7 837 4704 TNE Computer Support Services PH: +61 7 837 5174 Brisbane Office "These are my opinions alone"
