hi caperjack

that worked a treat it was windows xp professional i was using thanks very much it was driving me nuts..
also one more question: since wiping my computer ,the keyboard seems to be different. To get the @ symbol i have to press the shift key and number 2. this would normally give me " but not anymore..any ideas.. cheers again

the @ is is shift #2 on my keyboard and all keyboards i have ever used , what country /language you using !
anyway go to control panel and under regional and language and you can pick your choice there !

Caperjack, on british keyboards the @ key is on the same key as ' it is located to the left of the # / ~ key, to the left of return.
