Hi Managers,

                Well my problem is solved, thanks to all those who
                responded.

                The consensus was that the hardware database had to
                be deleted to allow the new ES80 hardware database
                to be created on bootup.

                Thanks to all those who responded:

                Danielle Georgette.
                Ken Albert.
                Greg Rudd.
                Peter Gergen.
                Daniel Clar.
                Bluejay Adametz.
                Martin Rønde Andersen.
                Yogesh Bhanu.

Best Regards. - The makers may make
John Welsh. And the users may use
=========== But the fixers must fix
                       With a very few clues. CTS.
