DONE!! BUT, although I had English (US) instead of English (UK) on the language options, now that I changed it over I STILL have my @ and " round the wrong way on the keyboard, so it's gotta be that little man who put the wrong bits behind those keys hasn't it, just like I said! Dave can live with it though, he'll have to coz I'm not sending it back just because of that, too much faffing about, I've had enough of that with wardrobes, but I won't go there!!!

Thanks for trying guys, much appreciated!

Thanks Jackie, but there's no number pad on it, so how can you lock it anyway?

Next problem! Dave needs spellchecker, and there's no MsWord on there only Wordpad and he can't find spellchecker in wordpad??? Anyone know if it has one?

Can you download Word from somewhere? Maybe Ms Office for free? I haven't got the dvd for it yet, so can't instal it any other way than doing it online for now? I'm gonna be a right pain now aren't I! Sorry!

That's what I thought, thanks though Jackie. The Google toolbar one will be good, coz he can then copy and paste, the only problem being when he types a letter, every other word is mispelled so it'll take him a while to type a letter now!! Maybe I should do it for him coz I can type AND spell! Lol!
