The fact is that anyone with any deductive reasoning skills or just an ability to follow a written conversation who read the message subject line or the original posters message body and then read the first response that you are replying to and saw that message body/subject quoted in the reply would come to the conclusion that "TIF" stood for "Temporary Internet Files"/"Temporary Internet Folder". This would be so whether they knew something about computers or nothing about computers. Such a person would not jump to it meaning something else completely. Walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting (clearly labeled on the door as "Alcoholic Anonymous (AA)" and listened to someone announce the meeting by starting with "Welcome to Alcoholics Anonymous" and then when someone in the crowd says, "I came to AA today because..." someone corrects them - letting them know this is not a meeting of people who work for American Airlines. That's what this looks like. All signs point to what the meaning of the acronym is - and it is accurare and properly formatted - but some just cannot see it or admit that they just missed it the first time. Not a rationalization - a fact that you won't admit you are incorrect/mistaken/missed the obvious. When you said, "In the "context" it was an improper reference that was incorrect" <- you are only correct if you are talking about your own response. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

"I just switched" "I didn't actually switch" Can't get your story straight, can you? Did you REALLY get the licenses for the software included with the used computer? Or perhaps did you just get hardware that included a dirty hard disk that should've been wiped? Do you have the product keys for the OS and applications? Do you have the installation media for the OS and applications?
