Damien,

I've not used an IXJ driver on Windows or Linux for over six months, so
I am afraid I have no useful suggestions on this.

I was always uncomfortable with the Yield as a fix for the driver
problem but as I had no better suggestion, and it certainly did seem
to work, I was happy to go with it.
