Thanks for the reply and sorry about rubbing the tropical temperatures
into the group. It's one of the perks of living in the tropics. One rub is
enough for me.

Regarding the wrong version; I noticed one download was for Intel chips and
another download was for AMD chips. I have the AMD and I downloaded the Intel
version. I did notice the 32 / 64 bit differences too. I have a cheap laptop
so I don't expect it to have a 64-bit processor.

I do have broadband (Cable modem) and a wired 100MHz home network. There must
be some bottleneck at the Santa Barbara download site.

I like your signature: "Only dead fish go with the flow." I have a 'heart to
heart' meeting with my employees tomorrow. I'll use that. I'll give you credit
!!

Thanks for the equipment clue. I will try it eventhough my
equipment doesn't show up. I'll look at the equipment on the HP site for my
machine as well.
