Werner:

I checked all my Turtle Beach diskettes -- no viruses.  My guess is your 
bug got onto the disks you have from some other source (did you bother 
to write-protect them before installing the driver-software?).

I've talked to other Turtle users across the country -- no bug reports 
from them either.  So far, you seem to be the only person with this 
problem -- better have a look at some of your programs on archive 
(especially public domain software).

Good Luck!

Cheers!
