I shall do the full dl also.... or better still, get someone to burn a copy for me - I don't have the luxury of blinding speed. And I will hold it over for a full reinstallation; this one is building silly little errors. Lost desktop Search in explorer a few weeks ago [it still works from IE!?] and nothing I do will get it back, and now the little shutdown button has disappeared from my user login panel, and the software refuses to let me rebuild it. So I sense imminent death. Two years is too long by far, anyway.
