SanJose - sorry for the delay - I've only just got back online! I followed the instructions to the letter, but it didn't seem to work? I've had to borrow a friend's disk to make my machine work again. I think the problem was that I used an 80W speaker and I guess it was TOO strong, and I could not find that 'SVINTOŽ' stuff here in the UK, so I used my wife's BrilloŽ pads (but very gently). I guess you have tried the procedure, so if you have any comments I would be pleased to hear them. Is it possible to go back somehow to where I was before? I have seen something called 'RESTOREŽ' in the hardware shops. Will this help?
