Yep, now I remember, I did what you said! Works fine under Ozi here too.

Hi Bonz

From what I have been told and if you wish to use older programmes developed prior to Windows 7, you must configure the initial set up to 32 bit and not 64.

Yer I figured that out Steve after everything was installed and running adn I tried to load some old stuff and I just done have the patience to do it all again .... yet

Hi Bonz

It is a very easy process to re set up your computer to 32 bit. First make sure that you have backed up everything, as the new set up process will set your computer to out of the box specifications and erase everything on the hard drive.

While pressing the power button, continualy press the 'O' (o for Oscar and not the number 0) on the keyboard. Once the unit boots up, there will be a message asking you if you want the set the computer to out of the box specs. In a nut shell it will wipe the hard drive and go back to the original set up page, eg what country are you registering it in etc. This process can take anything up to an hour, but once you are back to the set up stage, select the 32 bit which is usually the first and highlighted option.

Once at this stage it will then usually be less than 5 minutes and you will be back up and running and ready to re install you programmes.

Hi Steve, this PC doesnt have out of the box specs, or a partition with that info in it, as it was built from parts. And had XP installed originally so I have to load via the CD's and its a matter of havng the time and the inclination to do so mate.

Wish it was as easy as you reckon, but the program install and setup is painful

Thanx for the note though
