You're welcome, gil777t and Scolabar. :)
Thanks :)
cool thanks

BTW any one else have trouble with the update it was a real pain in the butt this time around
My laptop updated without a problem. The update froze on my desktop - I ended up uninstalling the previous version and then installing the new version, which worked fine.
No problems here.
Had no problems updating the family computer (Win XP SP3) to 9.4.0.
