Ok, problem solved.
Before I did a firmware update, which still not sure of as machine reads V6.10 and latest firmware is 3.90....
..... started thinking. I loaded the latest CM3 software V2.950.599. So....
went back and loaded V 2.2.881.583, still no joy, then went back to V 2.1.610, and all started working again.
Later versions have something that my Win 7 CE5000 didn't like.
So...
Back in business!!!!
Hope this helps others too!
And thank you Mfatty for responding so quickly. Your suggestion was next on the list.
