To reduce the number of duplicate postings please consider the following recommendations:

• The Search function is located at the head of the page. If you are considering asking a question please use the search facility we have in our forums before asking, just in case your question has already been asked and an answer already provided. You can filter to search one or many key words, all forums or just one, key word in topic headers or in body text. These forums have been active for a long time - there is a lot of information hidden in the depths of these pages.
• Then before posting your question, quickly look at the Stickies in the relevant forum - you may be surprised to find your answer.

Players:
