All went well until we tried to load the CD for the modem, It doesn't load. In fact the drive doesn't even recognise that something is in it. It runs but nothing shows on screen. Please help! Thanks in advance, .... -------------------- Simply me, ... Xraythree

Locate the CD/DVD drive, right click on it and select "Uninstall". After it has uninstalled reboot the computer (it will be automatically reinstalled). -------------------- _{Stupidity has a knack of getting its way. —Albert Camus}
