Hi and Thanks for your reply.
The desktop is a multimedia xp sp2 200gig medion pc.
It does sit on a metal z desk...hmmm..yep have digi phones but did turn them off.
Funny thing is though, although the signal is eratic (i keep hovering over the icon!!) i dont really notice anything slowing down on the pc.
Perhaps it could be the infra red thing on the desktop as it has a remote control for the multimedia side of things.
Do you think i should keep it then, as i suppose it it a lot of hassle to get another and then reinstall.
Perhaps i am reading these forums too much....a little knowledge can be dangerous as they say...LOL..
Thankyou
