Thanks for the response yes, this is the only new item installed. No
problems prior and when I disconnect it the Sony is perfect as before.
I have not installed the SP1 waiting for the official release nor any new
programs. If this helps any Device Manager sees the Gateway as a generic PnP
monitor however sees the Sony as Sony.
Thanks
