Ed:
Well, I may just do the full re-set, since I have my memories and other
parameters already saved.
But, my challenge will be to get the ARCP software and USB driver up and
running again.
If anyone has some suggestions as to how to do this with the best chances
for success, please let me know.
Also, I need to know whether the USB cable must be plugged in, or unplugged
while I'm doing the programming and configuring.
