Cheri,

You're probably right about the auto update feature and TMG problems.

Atleast it's a minor concession to make to avoid marrying the wrong
people and adding people as parents to their gran parents!

I just installed WinXP. Can you give people like me a quick short
course in how to turn off the auto update??

Thanks
Greg
