Hi Gary,
Yep, am up in Top Valley aka Heron Ridge if you believe the estate agent leaflet

- were you an NTL employee down at the Colwick internment camp btw?
OK, thanks for the constructive advice, it seems a lot more plausible than what NTL's "Support" were telling me about some kind of "competition for my RAM causing it to saturate"

, and certainly far more logical in terms of rebooting - I'll give it a shot later on and let you know.
Cheers,

, Mark
