Art is still working, like a beaver, on the bevel gears but he will not stop until it is done. 
Best $75 I ever spent.

So far so good. 

In Glary Utilities / Modules / Optimize & Improve / Start up Manager, you can view all the programs that are invoked at start-up and if your little dialer is there it can be deleted along with anything else you don't need that slows down start up. There are many other menus and optimization tools including 1-Click Maintenance which helps to lean the registry amongst other things.

Good luck,

Thanks Russ, I think Brtec is getting confused between 'earth' and 'ground' which are essentially and should be treated as two separate circuits.

Come on Lou - nobody admits defeat this quickly.

Get your 'steps per' correct then everything else will fall into place (not sure about your THC though).

You really don't want to hear this but going back a few years before I had broadband I somehow picked up an unwanted dialer. It wasn't until I got he phone bill that I found out my PC had been dialing a premium rate number in the Cayman Islands. I took the matter to a tribunal stating that my phone company was complicit in the scam by allowing the call despite knowledge that it was a con trick (I had evidence that others had already complained to the phone company about this dialer) and subsequently had my money refunded.
I was extremely careful after that experience.

Today, the recommendation is earth all metal really well and ground both ends of the shield.

Brtec,

I would be grateful if you could tell me your source for the recommendation to ground both ends of the shield.
