George, when we first had the problem, my boss went out and got a new cable and we got a new computer. Things went along well for a while ... and he said something yesterday about me maybe having to use a source computer--like having to take files to another computer to emboss and not using the same computer where there is email and all tht. I'll pass on your message about the "dirty electrical supply within your building", and I thank you for your suggestions.

All my instincts tell me this is a connection or cable problem locally. At worst, it may be a dirty electrical supply within your building. What I would suggest you do is get a brand new connecting cable, the shorter the better, and try again. If the fault is still there, would you be able connect it to a different PC altogether?
