Eureka! System Restore is back. Thank you Noel. Have no
idea why copied instructions when pasted contained
quotation marks that didnt even show in the TXT files on
my desktop. Typed them in from ur info sheet and all went
smooth as silk. Bet this is the last time u want to hear
from me. Thanks again.
