I didn't think it looked right when I started to post this.

I can't find it in the halmeter or halscope menu's. And its been working 
for nearly 2 years.

But I'll certainly look some more today. But this "hardware" problem with 
the Z drive's driver in the 5i25, all of them, is new yesterday. So I'll 
probably buy another Dell from pcliquidaters for about $95 w/shipping 
today. Supposedly the same as this one.
