| Guest | Re: CHARACTER MAP Thats strange, there should be a System Tools, not matter the edition or local. Try doing a System Repair with your Windows Vista installation disk. Boot from your Windows Vista DVD, select the System Repair Option > on the setup screen, select 'Repair Computer > Select your installation of Windows > select Startup Repair option and follow instructions. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "cdlaney" <cdlaney@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0397B281-618F-43D2-A98C-82C3B455C64D@xxxxxx Quote: > THANKS ANDRE > I Have solved my problem now!

Many thanks DAVE System Tools should be located near the bottom of the Accessories list. The "Start" menu shows shortcuts, top justified, then the folders at the bottom of the list. Mic |
