i think the best thing to do is a fresh install of the os and the game + fc
i have done a lot of mucking around with lua files and configs etc so i think its best to start fresh and see if these problems persist and see wether or not they are from my tinkering
majorly out of it right now so tomorrow is another day, i want to save my controller setup etc so i had best leave it till later
thanks for the feedback.
think i will leave the client as is and just format the game machine and see how that goes, as the client runs a few game servers and TB thats it.
must backup the lockon controller settings first ( this is to remind me

)
will let you know how i go, cheers ggg.
