Also I have always set my computers up so that pressing the Ctrl key indicates where my cursor is on the screen. Darned if I can remember how to do it now. Not very keen on "Live Mail" and would appreiciate comments. Spell check does some strange things. Tom	Thomas01 (317)

I felt a proper Charlie when I read your advice. Of course - the mouse options - goodness knows I have used it often in the past. Memory must be getting shot. As for the contacts !! I must have gone over all the drop down menus umpteen times plus looking everywhere except on the bottom of the screen. Anyway thanks lots for getting me sorted out. Tom	Thomas01 (317)

Yesterday was in a bit of a hurry, trying to get this rebuilt/upgraded PC back to the customer in the afternoon, (motherboard had blown on a Acer - installed new ASUS board, had to reinstall vista) one of the lights in the workshop had blown, so it was a little darker than normal ---Built this PC, went to fire it up, dead as a dodo. OH CRAP !!! just what I need a DOA board:( Changed PSU's, checked all he power connections, all OK -- Then discovered the problem Durrhhhhh :o --- the front panel connectors weren't in the normal place, I had plugged the front panel connections onto a USB header by mistake --- twit -- changed them to where they were meant to be and what ya know -- It went One of those days !! ;)	wainuitech (129)
