    Well, if you;re trying to imply I am not the proper owner of the   
   machine, then you,re dead wrond. I bought this laptop, new,   
   with XP Pro installed and have had it for every update since that   
   time. Wouldn't have bought a new Win 7 Pro 64 but for numersous   
   blue sceeen "derious problems" in this XP machine.   
     I have no recollection of what I was doing and got the   
   "no permission" message. It'sthe only such I've ever received.
