Thank you folks - it's given me some direction to check on.
Saab - I'm afraid there is no FM to R. Everything seems to come on the CDRom now (with the drivers) but when the CD starts to auto run and takes over the screen to say "Installing", I have to pull it out in case the new stuff trashes everything I already have.
This has happened with the last three bits of software and the new laptop/notebook - not a shred of documentation with it - it's all on the CDRom or hard drive.
Wish I could RTFM - then I wouldn't have the delay in running the stuff as I wouldn't need to wait for your replies.
Thanks again
