Hi David
I am just completing the copying of My Documents folder over to the new
drive which is enormous. Once that is done, then I will have a go at what
George suggests and take it from there. I did notice both a setup.exe and
an install.exe, so this is somewhat confusing I agree.
You have been most helpful, and I thank you all for that.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie,
I'm sorry I've not been much help. I checked the downloaded driver directory
and found both an install.exe and a setup.exe. After a year I can't remember
which one i used. All I remember is running one of these and following the
instructions. Once again, my apologies.
Regards
David
