OK doug, i know where he lives. good news is that a friend re-installed pet and it works. yippee! after you get used to using that program, you can't live without it. also downloaded a driver to get the camera card reader working again, although an error message comes up when i boot. also had to delete the old AOL folders for 5.0 and 6.0 before the 7.0 would stay in the system and not default back to 5.0 when reactivating AOL. i'm sure other pitfalls await. thanks for the help.
