Thanks again chaps.
Ausatco, I dod have a c & D drive and have very little stuff on the D, so when I'm feeling brave i may well do that.
All in all, it seems the price in the UK of computers has fallen so much I'm tempted to give this one to the kids for school work and get on the phone to Mesh. I would use their website but I keep getting illegal ops messages

well, you have to laugh don't you.
£1500 for a 1200Mhz AMD Athlon, 40GB hard drive, 256mb RAM and CD re/writer isn't a bad deal is it. The good thing about Mesh is they don't come full up with loads of crap you don't want, unlike some manufacturers I could mention.
I'll have to start talking to the Ultimate Power and see if she'll let me have a new toy.
Toodle pip for now,
Pontius
