Good catch, TW (I hope)

Brian, don't be embarrassed if TW's directive solves the problem !

Getting users to read a Manual past page 2 seems almost impossible.
I spent 7 years as an independent consultant and couldn't believe some of the calls I received from clients who didn't/wouldn't RTFM.

Who wastes time with emotions? We learn because we make mistakes. Brian can learn why his machine is a better type. Learn from the experience by executing its hardware diagnostics. And visit a web site for Probook 4525s. At least two things to learn from an event and resulting question. Mistakes are some of the greatest sources of knowledge.
