...thanks all
my disc is focus media patched to 1.4 and i beleive star force free
'it's included with GWX3 so the most you should need to do is update to the latest version.'
thanks frau that explains stuff, now i'll have to uninstall the other one and start again.
'Vendor is correct, if you are using Commander with GWX3 you also need to install the config files for the two of them to work together properly.'
not sure how to implement this when i get it - does it run its own course when installing or is there a 'readme' to follow - thanks Vendor
sorry. dont know what UAC is ?
cheers
