Good morning dean-dean. Thank you for your continued interest in this issue.
I tried as you suggested and the alert did not kick in this time. You may
well be onto something there. My only 'but' is since we have opened this
dialogue the alert has been lets say temperamental i.e. sometimes it kicks in
other times not. I say 'but' because other than two default windows gadgets I
only have a UK radio player installed. I will remove the radio player and see
how it goes. Fingers crossed that this is the end of the issue and should it
prove so I will respond in the appropriate manner to afford you your well
deserved credit. Thank you, Andlie Coll
