Dropbox does not do anything when you open the app except start the app. If you are not signed in, you will have to do this from the context menu. As I recall the only way you can open that context menu is using the real mouse. When it's finally set up there will be a folder in your home

erase the HD and install the OS to base system. If VO doesn't start, wait another minute or so and try again. It shouldn't take longer than that to bring up the utilities. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On May 7, 2014, at 11:50 AM, Deb Lewis deblewi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi
