Now he tells me :~)
I am not grumbling it was very cheap really at £5.86


Ask for you money back. Whoever sold it to you had no right to sell it.

I expect If I read carefully I would find I did not pay for it but something
else like a back up cd or some such, I take your point though.
More worrying is at the moment Vista is flexing its muscles and I have spent
the last 2 hours trying to recover from it freezing after a bit of software
it did not like was attempting to install. now working but I can see a lot
of unexplained activity from the hard drive so am expecting more trouble to
come :~(
Its more trouble than its worth, avoid it if you can, but they do not supply
you a system disc so you can change your mind in the future.
