Re: pro evo 5 problems

Cheers for the very comprehensive list of options there Jimmy. Unfortunately
still no joy. When i went to the windows update that you suggested I
couldn't install the windows service pack 2. Also, when i went to click on
the drive to clean up and defragment i was only given the option to do this
for the c-drive and not the d-drive that the pro-evo disk is in:-I'm not sure
if this helps at all, but thanks for your help, Jim
