barb1191...... THANK YOU for taking the time to respond to my question. I had a feeling that it's like.......... "if it ain't broke - don't fix it". So, I'll just continue to ignore my computer flashing me to update windows for SP-III until they perfect it (if ever).
I'm using an antique computer - an old HP that I purchased as a closeout in 2001 and it serves my needs. If it ever croaks I'll just buy a new fancy laptop with all the new bells & whistles and then I'll have to learn VISTA
Thanks again for your help!
