Well, if it rains it poors !! I got myself another PC just before the Xmas break, worked for two days to get everything installed again. Very nice system - Intel Dual core @ 6300, so should be able to do something. Then lightening stikes and I start getting blue screens of Death one after another. It turns out it's not a new system but a refurb. Pretty poor job I would say. :angery: :angery: :angery: :angery: Went back to the shop tonight and they offered to replace it with a little extra payment for a quad system @ 6600. That makes sense :p Trying to get everything going again. Hope to make some progress again next week. cheers
