Thanks Jack and yes I think the first call I had with them went south because of a language problem because this call centre girl despite the terrible time lag in the phone call actually used the logmein as well and consulted with her supervisors and was most thorough. But all's well an yes mate that code is in documents USB sticks images etc etc etc - I do that with all codes I use for the important stuff like security and malware paid fors etc - always a bit OCD but I know I have them on at least five machines as I email them to myself

Thanks again for your input my friend
