hi mr.chris
I was using safe mode for routine maintenance.I dont know why a window is like 120 % of its
normal size,maybe it would display stuff ok if i had a 19 " monitor,as i only have a 15" one and
its difficult to see information and close boxes with the basic drivers.
Another irritating thing was how my pc was not accepting an operating system.I have 2x xp pro discs
and 1 x xp sp2 disc and the only way to get anything on my pc was to use the "recovery disc" i made
when i bought the pc.I was getting messages during install about missing operating files,albeit
different ones for each disc,never the same one twice.
Thank heavens i had that recovery disc,it reinstalled partitions also
