Thanks, Bill
the other PCs are all XP. I only have one vaild Vista Disk.
So I went all out and thought I try it on the MAC.
At this point I am just trying to confirm this can be done??
wish I had a vaild copy of XP. just to cofirm its not the OS some how.
Eveything else appears ok.
Bill, have you heard of anyone else doing this.
Thanks, Bruce
