If so, it's sounding a lot like a       hardware problem to me.

I doubt that the       "upgrade" procedure from the DVD would necessarily replace the newly       updated "vitalpackage 2.0.1" with the older "vitalpackage 2.0.0."              But that's just speculation on my part. I know nothing of how the       "upgrade" procedure decides what to replace and what to leave alone.       That's why I always do clean installs of new releases.              TJ              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
