Thanks for the reply Wanda

Yep tried all that.  In the end application of the latest driver 6.1.9.9
fixed the problem.  Why the old one stopped working is inexplicable,
alignment of the planets or a stray cosmic ray perhaps?

Regards

Steve.

Hm.
- Make sure the Windows Removeable Media service is stopped and disabled.
Doesn't normally cause exactly that problem, but obviously something has
changed.

-If you look at the TS3310 via its web interface, does it still show a
control point defined on a drive?
-Have you checked its web interface for errors in its log?
-Are any drives offline in the library?

If Windows can't see the control point, TSM can't.  I'd be inclined to
define an alternate control point on a different drive and rediscover the
hardware with Windows, just to see if it pops up like it should.
