Just a quick FYI, the 500MB was just the first number I tried when tinkering and trying to resolve the issue I was having. It's very possible that number could be much, much lower and still work for you. Maybe try adding 10MB at a time and give it a shot. Might just work immediately. *shrug* Regards, Janky Jay, III
