<DIV>Thanks again Barry.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Did not manage to fit in the meeting this week.</DIV>
<DIV>Fortunately it does not affect me.</DIV>
<DIV>It is 17.3 I have on a desktop where I had the BIOS problem on a MSI
Mobo and following the changes I mentioned previously everything is still
working very reliably.</DIV>
<DIV>The Lenovo Think Pad I got from Mark has version 18.1 or
(18.3?) installed cannot remember which off hand.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards<BR>Alan</DIV>
