Thank you Stu and JRR for advice on my ERROR lock up, or should I say 'cock up,. I could not quite understand your advice on the commands to use but the general theme of your comments was that I was in two different customise modes. I probably clicked a wrong spot on loading the pix or music. I closed everything down took all px and music off and started again, using the age old maxim:- if in doubt READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. all is now well Ta muchly.
