Hi Jason, Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I will give that forum a try. I plan to use more of the Shuttle SFF XPCs so it will be nice to have an in-depth knowledge base available to resolve problems. Regards, TCIII

Hi all, It has been seven (7) days since I sent Shuttle's customer service an email detailing this problem and I have yet to hear from them. Their website says that they will respond within 72hrs. So much for Shuttle customer...
