As I said in my previous email, it's a driver problem that I'm trying to understand and solve. However, it might actually be a symptom of a hardware problem on your end that wasn't being detected with 6.2 but is with 6.3 and 7.0. Please check your hardware and try swapping cables and such, and I'll keep you updated on what I find on my end. Scott
