Then, if possible, upgrade those components. Let us know the exact error message and maybe we can give a bit more info. -------------------- - John If you need a more detailed explanation, please ask for it. I have the Knack.

The Experience Index completes the analysis then says "Cannot complete assessment. The assessment or other operation did not complete successfully. This is due to an error being reported from the operating system, driver, or other component."
