Hi Linc,

This is the first time i use this site. i found you message which seems to tackle the issues i'm facing with the macbook.

I believe the issue must have originated with a DVIX agent or something similar.

I thus run the scipt and get the following results.

Thank you for your assistance,

Lorebi
