Flor, Thanks, this is my thinking too. One last question, once all shared components are removed the talking installer etc. will probably be gone too. Do the full "exe" files downloaded from the FS site have all the items in them so if I click on it it will begin talking prior to the install like the CD or is it better to use the CD?
