Thank you all for your suggestions about my iMac. I have tried everything and still get locked up. I can now get the desktop loaded, but as soon as I move the cursor it disappears. I have backed up all of my file folders, but I don't know how to get my address list from MS Outlook Express. Any help to do this will allow me to do a complete reinstall. Thanks. Ted Medzon. 1 _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/pages/members.html#Joinmuglo Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
