Have you tried the BSLoader, not File_Girl's version but the versions listed beneath in this post?

There's an updated BSLoader version, alternative delays before time returns back.

If you are using Vista or higher, set the shortcut to Run as Administrator.

Sorry I did not see your post earlier.

As usual, it was operator headspace error. I went back and checked settings, as soon as I set it to run under XP-2, within five minutes it was working perfectly and still is this morning. Thank you though, appreciate the response.
