Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply :-) I found an "Windows Live" entry with some of the
info in your reply but the "msgsc" (sorry, I don't know what that is) number
differs. "{E1771B7F-98BE-407F-BA67-AA16ADA5D0C5}" is the same but
"msgsc.14.0.8050.1202" is "msgsc.14.0.8064.0206" on my machine.
Does this matter?
Thanks again for the reply.
