Hi Al: I have the trouble shooting guide for that set. Maybe you overlooked
something in the sys control. Its less then 2 megs.I had a bad micro on a
ctc 187, it was flashing little white squares all over the pix.I understand
you have email limitations because you are in the country. I can email it or
upload it to the members area. Let me know. Barry
