I have used www.askbobrankin.com a few times in the past when I have had problems on various tech matters and always found a solution
It is free and covers a tremendous scope of information.

Well done you! You should get a putty medal for that Frank.
I looked at the instructions and thought they looked daunting.

I thought I would have a go.I kept asking my eldest son,Steven ( he works in the IT department at Coach House Antiques) but he kept saying when I get a minute. So if a complete thicky like me can do it so can anyone.

don't sell yourself short Frank.
If you can do that, you certainly cannot apply the label 'thicky'.
I'm impressed.
