Ok, this might be the first time I miss an update -- 4.5 is the best I've ever had the sim, so now might not be the time to mess around with that! I'll take another look in a month or two.

Stick with what you have Rob I did an uninstall and new install of the client update and had all sorts of problems so uninstalled the update and reinstalled the first one again and all is good again.

Good advice Doug, I'm still using 4.0
