Thanks Neil, I did suggest that actually when he first told me about the 
problem. The thing is he's ONLY JUST got his head around having a linux 
system to begin with and changing distros is too much for him to take in. 
I'm batteling with;
If it doesn't work I'll just go back and get the XP version"
I really don't want that to happen! Let's hope the latest 'lite' will work 
that I've downloaded.
Cheers, Jon
