I prefer to read what the conflict is and decide on each case.       Sometimes it is neither install nor not install, but do something else       first.              --       Cheers, Carlos.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
