Thankyou for your reply, yes, I have got a manual for the machine and looking through it, quite frankly it terrifies me with the verbage, I assume that it is designed for those with a certain knowledge of computer internals! Most of the abbreviations are unknown quantities!

I think that I will have to employ someone to work on it, I am sure that if I start bumbling my way through the PC workings I shall do something that is irreparable!

Thanks for the thought, I do appreciate your posting.

Regards, Peter.
