Each time that i tried to do this, it would allow me to
get to the point were i have highlighted 'Sounds, Video &
game controllers' nad a new window would open up, but
this would subsequently fail to respond after a minute or
two and remain blank! No idea why though! The computer
is working perfectly appart from this 1 problem! Really
appreciate your help mate, and any more ideas you have
would be great thanks!
