Makes sense to me, you hit it right on the head. It always makes me laugh when
someone goes out and buys the  latest ver of WinDOZE and then a day later, "HELP
ME!!"

Of course McFly ( knocking knuckles on the head)  you're a guinea pig for Bill
and after you go through the anguish of trying to get certain progorams to work
and then realizing you should had stuck with good ole' Win98SE (My O/S and I am
NOT upgrading) or you should had kept using Linux ... prepare yourself for a
tormenting adventure and you are going to pay for it literally and emotionally
