Hi,
thanks for your list. I had tried to update using the update link on the
desktop (twice) and just messed things up something fierce. I had to
re-install from the cds both times. Did you not have any trouble? Is there
some sequence or method that works better than others? Would appreciate any
help/advise in this area.
TIA,
-s
