Hello Mick, |
35 |
|
36 |
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I have already tried this and it |
37 |
did not work. So, I ended up having to do a complete factory restore. |
38 |
Now it works in UMDA 6. This, of course, was not my first choice, but |
39 |
it seemed to be my only choice, given what I had tried. |

|

Regards, |
42 |
Chris |
