Man what a friggen hassel. Usually I can do these things blindfolded. But today I've just spent 6 hours formatting my laptop and I'm only a 1/3rd of the way through re-installing my software. As it is, my wireless set-up is arguing so I am hard wired for the time being.
 
Why couldn't Microsoft create a program that does one thing thoroughly instead of offering you 50 ways of doing something guaranteeing a f**k-up?
 
Still got Mailwasher installed, Maxthon Web browser, Incredimail (Which after removing most of the gimicky stuff is surprisingly more stable that Outlook in it's various forms), Kaspersky AV, Zone Alarm.
 
It was friggen outlook that cause my head aches forcing me to clean the drive out completely and starting afresh.
 
Thank God it's Sunday and not a lot on!  Oh and thank God I managed to log back in on here at my first attempt!

Very true. I wouldn't mind trying out a Mac for a few weeks.
