Sandy, The hooting and such is great, but real life issues should always take precedence over computer stuff, unless those real life issues involve the computer, of course. You go and take care of whatever you need to get done and get back to us when you're ready to attack this issue again. If you then allow me to connect to your system, I'll run through the ideas that have been suggested by Roger and myself and we'll try to quickly figure out what's going on with your external one way or another. In the meantime drink plenty of fluids, take semi-frequent breaks and don't allow yourself to get too overheated. It won't do you, hubby, your computer OR your home any good if you make yourself sick trying to ram through the list of housework you hope to complete during a heat/humidity wave.
