I don't disagree, however up until your reassurances I wasn't at all sure that I may be having a problem unique to the Mac Boot camp implementation of Win XP. I had attempted to post on the Mac Hardware list, but that seems to be defunct. I know that this isn't strictly an OS-X problem but since I'm operating a Mac and since I have been active and helpful to others on this list for 4+ years that this the group just might cut me a little slack. Thanks for the slack you did provide. Your suggestions and Zane's contacts with me off list gave me some additional ideas to try. I'll try to be better behaved in the future. John
