One of the first things I did was to run first norton systemworks, which found some issues and supposedly fixed them....then, I ran disk utilities from a panther install disk and did a disk repair (twice, just in case) and then a permissions repair. I've been working as a mac tech for a couple of years at a publishing company.

I can try to hide windows if necessary. All this happened relatively suddenly a few days ago...have had switch for about a year, but will try it directly tomarrow just in case something isn't right with it. But it's worked until now at least. Will see if I can find the user guide for it (fat chance I'd guess, cause I'm in the middle of packing to move transatlantic!) and see if I can find the IP address to get into the switch, if possible and see if there is any kind of firewall.

Why do I always attract the strangest glitches? Probably cause I keep fighting with them til I figure them out or find someone who can!
