Hi Colin <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Hmmm sounds like the database is (was) corrupted. I don't remember if Windows ME uses Windows Update. There is no problem deleting the files in "/inf". That is where Windows stores info files for drivers and hardware. If you need it again, Windows update will find it as most of the files were included with Windows. Only extra ones in there are drivers you have added.<br /><br />Cheers
