Hi Mark and George Thanks for that. Well, George, I guess we all have our senior moments. I'm doing this in XP. What happens when I try to go to the control panel is that the whole thing just freezes solid. No speech from Window-eyes, nothing moves and I have to hold down the power button to get out and then reboot. So I'll check the disk drive first now I know how to do it and then, in case I have to do it, can you tell me how I repair XP? It's XP Home by the way. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
