Noel: Thanks for responding - I was hoping you would, you
helped me tremendously with a system restore problem some
months ago.

I will try the various things you mentioned & will let you
know, but don't be surprised if it's a couple of days --
lots of other work to do. On the other hand, if the
computer can't run some things, I'll have to get this
fixed first! Today I couldn't even scan a picture in
because it said it was low on resources or memory. Grrr.

Thanks again.

Nancy
