Thanks Mick for the info. My problem is this computer is telling me I have a illegal copy of windows. Since it has never been changed since I bought the PC I have no idea why it is saying that. Because of this I have no admin control over the PC and it will not let me download things. I suspect it might have been hacked at some point. I cannot re install windows from the discs I have because it says I am not authorised! I really need to hit it with a hammer.
