Hello, Thanks to those who offered advice about the problems I've experienced with Eloquence with an SB Live sound card. I will look on the Creative web site to see if there are any later drivers than those shipped with the card. This seems to be the most likely solution, as I have 192 mb of RAM so wouldn't expect that to be the main reason for the sluggish response. Thanks, Caroline Ford. ***************************************************************************************** This E Mail, with attachments if any, is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the individual or organisation to whom it is addressed.
