have no idea what the something silver is.....me, personally, would steer clear of that, but that's just because I've also learned not to d/l their critical updates until a month or so has passed and the end users have figured out the bugs. I've had a few hundred machines come my way that wouldn't work right, and after I uninstalled the latest 'fix' from MS, worked fine. Then a few months later they produced a fix for the fix.

thanks valis sorry about vagueness it,s silverlight and thanks for the advice.Thanks for all the help have a good year nikonmick no reply needed carry on the good work
