Hi Folks. All sorted now . Sorry for the delay in getting back but I was on webmail on my other machine. Anyway....... The problem was that when I did this suggestion it did not see rev. However, I fixed it via the registry. I searched through all the things in the registry until I found all the .rev items. One had a path to rev-2.5 so I changed that to rev 2.6 and then rev 2.5 appeared in the list of apps. Then I changed it no problem. I then bought registry mechanic to check the registry and correct any problems. I'm toying with linux anyway, since I'm fed up buying thingds like diskeeper, regmachanic etc etc etc etc just so the thing doesn't grind to a halt.
