cheers Geek (s)

I will try to have a little 'play' tonight, if time when I get home (which I think will be quite late

)
Tony, I do connect thru IE as it is, due to 'internal probs' - the laptop is actually a bit in need of a 'sorting' but it has been limping on for the last few months on & off.
Main prob is, it had a nasty virus in end 2003, and in clearing it up, I somehow - or the virus did

- managed to bu**er it up - it even takes about 15 mins to completely boot up for use!
Another thing with it is, I am only a 'user' and do not have administration rights

(due to me buying it 'cheap' in 2002)
I dont keep anything on it I really need - its just for surfing the net in the evening, whilst watching tv & nattering to Alan.
So: anyone able/want to take it away to give it a good hiding for me???? & send it back a happy bunny???
I have absolutely no boot discs for it, nor a docking station, but have all the plug & play drives (A, D & E) for it I do also have the fast old dinosaur to use, but dont like being in isolation in the spare room upstairs when using it.
