The original problem was solved Oldun, thanks to this forum, but I've since encountered some irritating snags, and I like things to run smoothly.
I originally had 2003 installed then a friend gave MS Office 2007, as far as I can tell it is a puka disc, so I installed that and just couldn't get to grips with 2007, not as straightforward as 2003 I thought, so I un installed it, that caused more porblems so I re installed 2007 and order was partially restored.
Hope that explains better, the guy who used to sort my pc problems out seems to have disappeared, a pity because all those who I reccommended to him were very happy with his service.
