Thanks; I've turned off automatic update. I seldom if ever have experienced the MS disasters often gleefully reported... and I don't want to start!

Interesting, but not surprising. Every machine is different. If there's one thing I've learned the hard way after years of working with Windows, it's to have a disaster plan, including a full backup and factoring in time needed to do a clean wipe-out and re-install of everything in the event of disaster.

BTW, I've had a few (not immediately obvious) failures with relatively new Lite-On CDR's -- that may have been the issue with your daughter's machine.
