Ok I done what you said Thrush, just as I say I cannot load the updates as my windows copy isn't genuine, so do I just now put in my XP disk and install??

I'm still in shock at how helpful you are

UnseenMenace God hun I appreciate you simplifing it for me, I know your not talking down to me hun....its nice that someone is willing to simplify things for the erm lesser knowledged people, or in my case thick bints

Think I understand what you have said, so is it just a case of downloading them updates from microsoft?

Cheers guys xxxxx
