| 750780 | 2009-02-24 00:56:00 | Hi Speedy, I think I will back off with my tail between my legs I have said I can usually get out of the poo but this might cause that ability to bite back Thanks everyone- unless some bright spark comes up with a childlike method of doing this--nah nah Even the "how to " at one side of the program is too small to read I will however watch this string from a diplomatic distance :blush: effie c |

| 750782 | 2009-02-24 01:01:00 | Make an image of your current O/S partition. And if you are really scared, put in a 2nd drive and do it on that. That way with both of the above it will be painless to revert back to original. |

| 750783 | 2009-02-24 01:02:00 | I tried Win 7 64 bit dual booting with XP pro 32 bit. It worked surprisingly well. No real problems. The only annoyance was having to install all other programs twice. And occasionaly the system got confused and mixed files up in the wrong version. I then installed 7 on it's own. Easiest OS I have ever installed. It gave no driver problems. It just went on line and found what it needed with no help from me. It ran every program I threw at it. Even the original "DOOM". It is obviously not complete,but can be used reasonably comfortably with a bit of patience |

| 750785 | 2009-02-24 01:22:00 | Hi, I see I still have a 40 gb Seagate h/d on my shelf, and acccording to Pctek, that could be installed etc Chicken I may be but I assume that can be used--I forget why it was left out of my case anyway-possibly to get the 80 gb h/d that I now use-I think,I think Very old age is upon me and I know it:crying So perhaps a good mate might come to the rescue Thanks for that idea Pctek :thanks effie c |
