Hi all,
Sorry for coming back now and for posting zilch about my operating system and h/ware..I am running a AMD ATHLON DUAL CORE 4800 CPU,MSI MOTHERBOARD ,2GIG OF RAM,WIN XP PROF SERV PACK 3,updated through automatic updates.

C:saw i read about that one but apparently they say some programs might require those strings so i skipped that one but will try it now(have more faith in AO,S people than the internet).As far as microworld goes i got that one from NIHIL a long while ago and believe me it works!!I had to deal with a lot of spyware on a pc and all the other stuff i tried to use did not do the job..

Brokencrow I have a wireless internet connection through a access point on my roof which connects through to a ap or i suppose a tower on one of our grain silos about 5 clicks away from me which in turn relays me to my isp provider..Very unstable at times but when everything is fine i get up to 284k/bytes per second.So that rules out the dial up issue..How they work is they give you an Static ip adress and a preferred DNS server adress..

I will run the setup wizard again and let you know what happens..
thx again
cheers
