I still have the little 'windows' icon in my systems tray(?) so would still be able to upgrade at a later date. I had several annoying things happening, Windows Live Mail kept asking me to log in with one of my other email accounts, even though I could see the emails in the background being downloaded. Couldn't find the snipping tool, and also the search kept taking me on the web instead of searching the lappy, so I began to get teasy (as they say down here).

Thanks for that Maggy but at my age 5 years is a lifetime, also it's debatable if this laptop will last that long.
