Hi Ray.

It Said Microsoft XP Home version 5.1.....

But it was supposed to be a Media Center computer, or be it, shipped with XP 
Home to get me started.  I've got a  CD titled Quick Start Media Center and 
Pauline attempted, last weekend to install this, but it just  sat there 
doing nothing.  Perhaps I need to try it again.  I've never seen a Media 
Center computer Ray so whould not know the difference.  I'm having loads of 
problems and doubts about moving from XP home to Media Center and from JAWS 
to WindowEyes.  I'm seriously thinking of moving back to JAWS, but I'd need 
to spend a bunch to access Media Center.  I'd need JAWS Pro eh?  From 
version 6.0 to Pro ver 8 would cost me a bomb, and I've just spend a couple 
of quid moving to WindowEyes.  I even bought a new computer which has a crap 
sound card and speakers and the monitor looks prettty poor also.  Not my 
week at all eh?

Best wishes and thanks for the advice.

Andy
