Hi,

I had (in the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber) some
"Strange Things Mystifying" when I was writting a
device driver that were very similar.   Later I upgraded
to version 5.0 PREVIEW and the same code performed
flawlessly.  I have some deep seated suspicians that the
VIA chipset had some problems in the 4.X releases.

You might try a newer release (if not 4.5).

Cheers


Andy
