Hello from Aunty Jack, Something trashed the ethernet link from my main modem/router. Re-installed XP from scratch and quess what, no net link. Lost the "activate" app for Vista. Not my day at all. So, call me a traitor if you wish, back to Linux. (LinuxMint 17 "mate" version". I have had a lot of good fun on XP Forum and will miss it. Maybe in future I will try to install XP on a spare hard disk and be back In the words of "Aunty Jack", the main player/persona in an old Aussie comedy show. "goodbye me little lovelies". Cheers, Aunty Jack.
