I am sorry that I seem to have triggered that rambling discussion
again about power up tricks that work for some people but not others.
I tried all suggestions without success over past months.
I took on board the message that a reset always? put things right.
But waiting with baited breath to see if I needed to do that - was a
pain!
Why it took me so long to spot the obvious I don't know, but until we
hear that even this creates problems for some, surely anyone plagued
by the pyjamas problem, would do well to do as I do:
Always follow pressing the ON button by pressing RESET! It is a simple
fool proof habit to get into.
If there is a problem it would be explaining why I do it. But then I
don't know enough.
