Took several months and it was also for Net Framework 1.1 but it was on XP at the time.

I did that. When I tried to update it gave me the message."Window is up to date. There are no updates available for your computer." Do you think that I am alright now? If I am, then I certainly want to thank you and John for all your help. Thank you, Inge -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
