SRBox problem

[Roni Tibon]

Hi Mich,

We installed everything on a different machine, and it worked perfectly!
There is a Radix card installed on the original computer, and we suspect
that this was the source of the problem. We will try to remove it tomorrow
and see how it goes.

Anyway - thanks a lot for all your help!
