Dick, thanks for your reply. The help is appreciated. I have now installed all the updates (which took several hours - hence the delay in replying to you) and have then installed a package from the CDs. There is still the same "bad signature" message. As I wrote before, I haven't had this with the CDs from earlier versions. Not tried installing any more packages from "Contrib" yet. So I will now go through all you have suggested and see if it can be solved. Otherwise I will have to ignore the error messages, but I would rather not get them! Cheers and thanks again. Keith
