OK it's working 100% now. The problem was a corrupted profile. I could have continued with the way it was (Streisand?) but I've learned to pay attention to surface things like icebergs. You hear a squeak in your car and don't fix it and suddenly your radiator blows, the engine overheats and...

I spelled it correctly here but not when I set up the laptop for the kids ;-) The user panel says that the user (administrator) is Michael but look what the dos prompt says. http://i49.tinypic.com/30k8t5l.jpg Thanks Michael

@BadBigBen thanks for the reply. I originally set up the kds (meant to type kids) so it's not a hack. System is vista.

@BadBigBen and @goombawaho Thank you both for the feedback. I'm running Avira Premium right now and tried turning in on and off but it didn't help. Was running BitDefender until a couple of months ago and had the same problem. Looks like I shall have to do selective start ups. Haven't tried...

Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate on this? What happens if its not shutdown? Once the SATA has been identified via rescan it works 100% Please tell me you aren't trying to connect the drive directly through the internal SATA port to the PC when its on? It was connected...

Not the Sony, it's just a flash drive.

Thanks Skip I eventually did it in Word and am happy with the result. Just seems odd that it's easier to do in Word than in Publisher. Michael

Thanks Skip, the problem is that PunchLine isn't listed as a manufacturer. I will check out Word. Michael

Hi, Publisher Prof + 2010 I need to create a template based on some old label sheets that I have and I have no info for them. Doesn't have to be super precise as I want to make labels for my spice jars. There are 21 labels per page A4 and the company that produced them was/is PunchLine...
