Its a bit of a nuisance. There is a lot of differences in the way you access files etc.
Vista was a shocker and a lot of software would not run under it.
I still use XP.

Does Nick do house calls and if so does he talk in common language so idiots like me can understand. If it is not intruding could I ask him some "simple" questions or directions, if that is not ot much trouble.
I feel like this a lot.

Thanks Ripley, found out the sound card was not working, so the tower will be replaced on Saturday, then if it is ok at times I might call upon your offer(Nicks)

My son visited today for an Easter Family Lunch and brought out his camera.
I have a few pix on the computer now and will have to work out how to send them.
He has Windows7 and recons it is very fast and extremely simple. A big improvemant on XL.
