Thanks for this.....
SIL = Son-in-Law :-)
First, I should have told you this I suppose, I have Vista on my laptop,
came with the computer and the first thing I did when getting it home was to
make restore discs, there are 6 of them.
I don't suppose using this would do the trick, worth a try? I'm not going to
try them if it's not the thing to do.
I will get onto looking up that URL as soon as I can.....have my
semi-disabled hubby to get sorted first.
