Tip -

Explore the CD's for your various devices and verify that they have win2000 drivers to install, otherwise start dowbnloading.....

Hi Guy's

Many thanks for the helpful advice, i do appreciate it a lot.

Hi Qwijib0

You make it sound easy, thanks

Hi TonyT

Thanks for the Tip i hadn't thought of that.

Hi ya Humboldt

i appreciate the site. very nice. As to the "Big Crocodile" my buddy was interested in buying it to look

after his passwords & other info and was simply curious as to find out if it worked as stated or was a pain in

the butt. any knowledge you may possess would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Cupcake

right on, no sense staying in the shallow end, best get out with the big fish.

i guess it takes a little getting used to, but that's ok. i need a new challenge.

Once again Thanks to All

Good Luck, BMED

Hi BMED

thanks for the site. i do appreciate it. i am filing it for future use possibly.

Some of the win2k advice i can use now.

i am going to simply go 2k as i do not game, so i really have no reason to my knowledge to run both.

things have a way of changing however, so it may well come in handy in the future

thanks again
