Hi, thanks for the info re cmos batteries, re-installation worked like a dream. For your info, these batteries are sold in Mercadona for €2.65. Secondly, in RTN this week, the GAYS were having a problem with skype. If they open skype, go to tools then options then Privacy and click 'Only allow people on my list to contact me' will solve a lot of problems. There are other Privacy options there as well including getting rid of unwanted contacts and Barring etc. Hope this helps. Chris
