Ahh, ok, got it now. That makes sense as some programmes won't run unless 
the entries that were written when the programme was installed are in the 
Windows registry. There's a chance that the proggies that you say don't like 
the new Windows version would actually run if they were re-installed and the 
registry entries written to the operating version of Window's registry.

<phew>
