OMG how helpful are you guys, I owe you both BIG time..

Well I had a mess around, AND i went onto the microsoft website, i think it was microsoft that Thrush posted, and checked to see if my windows version was genuine, anbd it is not, so it will not let me get any of the updates....

Now I do have an XP disk, so do I need to re-install a genuine windows programme before I can do any of the above??


UnseenMenace thank you SO much for spending the time writing that out i appreciate it SO much!!!!!!

Will try what you say Thrush, will it let me do this even though I dont have a genuine copy of windows?

I found my brain btw, think I may have been having a bad night the other night!!!
