that<BR>the club has access to a computer suite/school room at the Rowing
Club<BR>building, as long as we ask nicely in advance, so you can bring along
a<BR>problem desktop and plug it into the existing monitors and
keyboards.<BR><BR>I noticed from one of your other posts that you were using
an ISO from a<BR>cover disk off a magazine. It is not unknown for ISOs to get

a<BR>last chance to get things working.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Barry
