Hi,

My thanks to everyone who gave me advice on my computer problem.

It is no longer in the land of the living.

It ended up frying almost every component in itself.

Hard drive, CPU, motherboard, cd roms. Need I say more?

I did get almost all of the files off before it bit the biscuit.

It's soul has moved into a beautiful quad core that is gorgeous so all is well with a working wacom.

Thanks again for everyone's help. i appreciate all of the advice and links. I learned a lot from all you.

Cheerio
