-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks David, That worked. She now has a working system. Hope you don't mind that I cc'd this to the list as I have had a lot of help from a number of SLUGgers (I think that someone else also mentioned envy) and I want to thank everyone. Envy worked a treat. Now all I have to do is get her Dell Sound Blaster Live working properly and she will be over the moon.
