Seriously mate don't go to any trouble snail mail is fine.
I can send you a cheque or put money in an account for you, no stress. I'm still considering all my options but I've found out w2k has been left behind by all software makers. Also looking at getting ubuntu 12.X but they no longer give out disks for it like they used to, have to download & burn an ISO or buy a pack of 10 disks but they're very cheap and offering full support until 2017. -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

Other than suspecting bigger is better I don't get this 32bit/64bit stuff, I'm guessing I've always been on 32bit anyway.
Other than a plaything installed within Windows I'm flicking ubuntu because it's just too hard to use, typical example... compare installing Google Earth in ubuntu & XP, it's like chalk & cheese. The way I see it my options are... 1) Go with a clean XP install from you. (preferred) 2) Clone my old HDD on to my new one. (do you have any exp in this?) 3) Refit my old HDD (XP) and grab the serial number off it then use that number on my pirated XP pro disk. It seems to me that the black list of numbers is within SP2 because my pirate disk installs & runs fine until I run SP2 on it. I reckon they're robbers, I've already paid for XP Pro. (I think) LOL!

All up & running Ozman aside from SP3.
Should I install shampoo & burn the SP3 .iso to a disk then boot the computer with the disk in? Might need some guidance with winrar right now I'm running on the limited version, it only lasts 30 days but by memory it only throws up a nag screen. Should we get a room?

What I have given you on the cd is a full version just read the NFO or the read file.
If you need a hand can come over tomorrow night. -------------------- ![]() |

All good Ozman got SP3 installed.
1st burn was 4.7GBs of thin air LOL! Ashampoo is very nice to use & non invasive like a lot of burner software. I tried ubuntu 13 straight off the CD but it was a bit clunky, I'm going to find out if 12 will install along side windows rather than partitioning my HDD. My old version 8.1 would do it but 13 didn't have that as an option. Right now all I have to do is copy some junk across that I saved on a memory stick. -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

My last post in here went AWOL?
Moving right along.... Foxit PDF reader? I've found it impossible to download, tried 2 computers. Click on the download link it opens a dialog box and I select to save the file to my desktop. Then it downloads a few hundred KBs and sits there like a stunned mullet. I'm open to any suggestions, can someone else give it a try? Any advice on a Foxit Alternative (Not Adobe)? -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

That's the one Ozman I gave up & got Sumatra.
QUOTE FOXIT Then it downloads a few hundred KBs and sits there like a stunned mullet. I'm giving it another try now. Nope, it still sits there like a stunned Mullet stuck on 254 KB for the last 10 Minutes. I'll give it a go through a proxy server later on today. Now I'm also back to being unable to snag a scrolling window with Snagit but I think it's a settings problem that I fluked on before. -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

It's downloading now through a proxy server, it makes no sense at all because I tried it on alternative sites yesterday like filehippo.
Perhaps it's something to do with my own isp. -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |
