Hi, Thomas I know what you mean just like how some people don't read the software and then they pannic, for example it's my family that does that. My little nephew goes and messes up the hardrives on his computer and then he calls me to fix them when he thought he was doing the right thing, and then he cries it doesn't work when I tell him speciffically not to touch those files that don't pertain to the issue, just when you have people who are impatient like my parents when it comes to computers. you tell them to do something with the computer and then they wine and curse up like a storm, when they can't find the item on the s creen, or if it goes to something else sometimes explaining computer issues to people at times is like talking to a brick wall. Well anyway cheers for now your friend, Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:28 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Games under Vista
