Cheers Dash, I'll give this a go. I was worried that the files were too big to put on a floppy.
The reason why I want to format the hard disk and start again is:
I cannot access my MSN Hotmail at all, when I try to do this I get this coming up:
How to get to Hotmail
Hotmail does not support the .NET Passport you are signed in to. There are two ways you can get to Hotmail:
1.If you already have a Hotmail account, you can sign out of your .NET Passport and sign in using your Hotmail account.
2.If you do not have a Hotmail account, you can sign out of your .NET Passport and visit the Hotmail Web site for information or to set up a free account.
So when I click on link 1. it brings up the sign in window for .NET passport, so presumably I'm not signed in.
I haven't got a clue how to sign out, I wish I could disable .NET passport altogether.
I haven't changed any settings to cause this, don't know if it was an automatic update or something.
