   BF --(pardon my familiarity) - just for the hell of it I went to MS   
   website and downloaded the file - and damned if it didn't intstall   
   right away with no problem. And that got rid of the little yellow   
   icon and updated this devilish device.   
      
   Many thanks for your trouble -
