Since you say you're a newbie, I'll critique what you just said. You mentioned that Alt + F2 was hit upon which Skype was installed. Actually Alt+F2 doesn't install. It runs an already installed package. So you did have it installed by the time you got to Alt + F2. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
