sorry... but no, it didn't! :o( I knew when I was loading WXP that I would lose all my files and folders, and had sent all important files in an email to sit in the ether whilst I performed the task. I assumed that once I had loaded WXP that I could jus
t reinstall all the kids games, of course they would have lost their saved games, but it would keep them amused catching up again! But WXP has done something that is not enabling any games to be installed for some reason known only to itself.
