Zr that is really kind of you and I do appreciate what you are offering. There is a key on the side but puzzlingly it is for 'Microsoft Windows 98 second edition' where as my OS is XP Professional - strange eh? However I digress, at present I am not considering uninstalling/installing a new system, so with respect, unless something catastrophic happens I will have to decline. But believe me if the need arises I will be in touch with you pronto! Going to go first with the new adaptor when it arrives.
Many thanks once again!
