I've looked in the error.log but i can;t see anything obvious apart from lots of recurring " Expiring subscriptions... " messages, but then again, i don;t know what i'm looking for.

Thanks, i have downloaded/installed that one already, its the same one as I was using before.  The only query about it  is that there isn;t a specific driver for the 320, the official download is for the 310 and 300 and i had been using the 310 fine.

I'm not sure its teh driver thats the issue as it worked perfectly until yesterday morning
