Hi Cy Get your daughter to download AIDA32 and install it. It will reveal all hardware and software info of the computer it's on. I have it on all my computers and it's a great help. It's also free! http://www.aida32.hu/aida-features.php?bit=32 Hope that helps.

OR is there another way to attack this problem. Sugestions appreciated. Cy --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!
