Thanks for the reply.
Just tried the above, but oddly the state=2 when I shut it down.

So I fired it back up, and it said that the device was on. So I tunred
it off in xplhal manager, restarted the service and it was saying the
device was 'on'. So I stitched it off in xplhal and it then updated to
off. I then refreshed the view and it said it was on again!!! Ahhgggg!

The fact I am running NT4 has caused problems before, does that give you
any ideas? Could it be a permissions issue? What user should I be
running xplhal as?

Cheers
