Hello, Wallace,

English must not be your first language.

When you go to reply, go to the bottom of the message press the Enter
key,
that will get you started at the first line after the message.

Press the Enter key to make paragraphs to make the message easier to
read.
Break up long sentences into smaller sentences.

Sorry for the lesson in ethics. It is hard to understand what you are
trying
to say.

I frankly do not know what happened, It is not something I have ever
heard
of.

When you use the term "Microsoft media" do you mean Microsoft Media
Center
Edition 2005?

If so, that is a part of the Operating System. It can not be moved. It
can
only be destroyed.

I think you need to find a Computer Service Technician where you live.
You need to explain to that Technician exactly what you wish to do, let
him/her teach you what needs to be done.

And find a Technician that speaks your first language.

thank you you must be one of the English-speaking Americans I understand
your American attitudes


Yes, I am an American, I was born and raised in this country, I have never
been outside of the borders of the United States of America. On top of that
I live in the deep south and have a very long southern drawl.

The only language I can speak or write is American English. I also had
English language Classes in School, which taught writing and sentence
structure.

My American Attitude as you call, it is to be as helpful as I can without
calling names or offending someone.

If your first language is English, then I am sorry for judging from your
writing that English is not your main language. The newsgroups are very
forgiving for non-English speaking people, that try to write in English.

It is very hard to get meaning from your description.

I still think that somebody with computer knowledge could help you in person
much better than the messages that have been exchanged here.

CSM1 - you have l *lot* more patience with Wallace (aka WALLACE) than I would have ;-)

I never even tried to find his remarks hidden inside the reply quotes (">").

And for your efforts (and excellent advice) you get an insult... no good deed goes unpunished :-(
