Hi WyeDyed, thanks again. I'm being a right div here but I would appreciate a little more advice. I clicked on the start button (I'm the only user on the laptop,no one else uses it or registered on it). So where do I find the cmd or start as admin... sorry not a good start to this. Btw I'm using the 'answer' on the MS Support microsoft community, third one down by user ocbXL (assume thats the one I should be using). Thanks again, appreciate your help.
