@ krondike thanks for taking the time to type all the info m8.
also i regulary D/L all updates for my pc hardware. However i diddnt know that D/L direct x 9 could help with makeing a 1.1 back up of my games

I am wondering how it helps so if you read this could you explain please. One last thing is i asked if up-dating my motherboard drivers can help with the backing up of games and you diddnt think so, Well after browsing the net yesterday i came across a site that reckons up-dateing your motherboard drivers can help,(however i dont know myself if this is true) So if anyone else reads this post and has any info on up-dateing mother board drivers and if it can help please share your knowlage

Thanks
