I take back what I said earlier about you being able to d/l from the updates site forever with what you have. I was just reading in another thread where there is a discussion about this and the gist is that M$ will probably defeat the crack we have soon and the same will happen with the retail version. The battle will be between hackers and M$ to keep the version undetected by Update. My answer is to quit getting change every time you buy something. Take that change and drop it in a jar in your house, roll the coins and in about a month or so, you will have enough to go out and buy a copy that is your very own. Rick
