Thanks, that sorted my issue immediately. Really grateful, thank you.

A simple question I hope. I am using windows os8, and need to take screen captures/screen shots before I reinstall my system. Can anybody help me with which keys to use please? Thanks.

Finally we've cracked it. Well, you have, for it now works like a charm (no pun intended), It surprises me how unintuitive it was, but the best things come to those who wait. I hope this can be of use to others in the future. Once again, thanks for your patience and invaluable help.

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way in OS8 to alter the mouse/touchpad sensitivity and speed as was possible in OS7 and Vista. I have a 17" laptop and it would massively help with movement around the screen. Thank you.
