Thanks for the heads-up on all those FanJ; I grabbed 'em all... I don't keep up with this stuff except here at Wilders :-)

Hi Detox,

You're welcome :)

Check also from time to time your windows update option.

And you can also for example have a look here:

Hmm not bad I'll tryt o remember to have a look there - I always feel bad connecting to microsoft with windows update... Feels like I'm getting stuff pushed on me and don't like it when it does things like puts in the new media player as well... (I have the very old one left; don't really use it and don't want the "medie spyer")
