To all of you , thanks heaps - and I mean it. I finally solved the problems by taking the laptop back to H Norman and getting a full refund on the whole deal as I said I needed XP to run everything. No problems and I couldnt fault their helpfullness and understanding - appears a problem with their touch screen models. In the end I sourced a Toshiba running Vista pro with XP3 discs with a $20 option to upgrade to Windows7Pro - can't loose. So in the end I get 3 operating systems to choose from.
Anyway thanks to H Nprman and you guys I think Ive come out of it OK - now if you can just pacify the wife who now thinks Im a complete retard.
