thanks for that merlin_ i'll try that list tommorow- i seem to be spending more time downloading and checking that actually sleeping lol.
On another note i noticed tonight when i went to microsoft site to check for downloads the computer went into slow mode so now i'm suspecting its to do with microsoft stuff as ie is provided by them right? could i be getting blocked or invaded from microsoft stuff only? ps i used firefox which still works great and through them went to m/s then it started to play up and once could get the thing closed again its up to speed on any other searches!
thanks again for the help guys
Tony
