It logs this error once a day on average and no application uses it at the time specified in the above log. Anyone can help please?

Thanks very much in advance.

I had a similar error on an autochanger about 9 months ago. Updating the firmware level on the autochanger fixed this.

It was pretty similar stuff though, we'd get an EMS alert every night - which annoyed us because the guys on the flight deck would phone us at 3am to say "you got an error"

Firmware fixed it.

Also double check the driver. I seem to remember that there was some weirdness with the original driver install.

I know it's all a bit fuzzy, but I'm trying to remember.

Scott.
