Phil<br />Funny you say this, because I know have XP home plus lots of new programmes now , It took so far 7 hrs and we are not finished, My cousin works at a computer shop and he also said never again on Dial up. <br />Mind you we had to abort some of the XP critical updates so we are not finished yet, My cousin said impossible to do what you say in 3 hrs over the net via a slow dial up, the person that told you that could do it this way and at 3 hrs must be boasting, <br />George
