Hi Yank,
You clearly have the patience of a saint helping me as you have done - I just wanted to say thanks and how much I have appreciated the time you have taken.
Firstly Live Updater now appears to be working normally - everything has updated this morning as it should have done and it worked at the normal speed I have been used to. Let's hope it stays that way !!
Secondly - thanks for the screen shots. Either I do not have any non plug and play drivers or they must be somewhere else. Nothing came up when I followed your instructions which is why I was confused, I have checked again this morning my time and exactly the same. Should I, in fact, have these Norton settings?
