Thanks for the help, I have downloaded the reg file and will install it tomorrow.
I know nothing about Linux/Unix whatsoever and at 65yo am a bit scared to delete windows and try it.
I seriously must look at a Linux boot disk/usb stick for a try, however there are a few things that I need this laptop for:
1) Games and so far if I try plugging in a usb keyboard the games crash, who knows what that problem could be?? Probably hardware.
2) SDR radio and control programs.
3) Oscilloscope (PC operated)
4) Wavelab sound editor.
These are the main reasons I have stuck to XP for such a long time, they all worked on that system but Firefox and other programs don't run properly anymore.
Instead of spending the money on Win 10 64 bit Pro maybe I should just buy and install Win 7, problem is that is on it's way out!!
Again many thanks for your help.
