Peter, patience, please, for an ol' man. i apparently do not know what "helper" is. i opened up the "help" menu option and, as usual, saw a number of items listed but i'm ignorant about how to use this item to update my 9.1 os. and, when i just try to open the installation disc it informs me that my machine cannot run this operating system. help me with the helper, if u cud. thanks again
