I feel your pain - I've done a load of Windows installs in my time, and remember the times I've sreamed when it says yet again that I need to restart my computer, or it can't find the correct driver. The funniest was when a friend called me over in a panic because he'd bought a new computer with XP installed and needed to register before the thing self-destructed. Unfortunately, he couldn't connect to the net because XP couldn't find a driver for his modem! I managed to sort it out by attaching my trusty external modem. Sir Robin
