before (with the second disk) but i cannot remember how?

First, you need to find a Windows group for your question, and the correct
group will depend on what version of Windows you are using.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the category for your version of Windows, then find a group there to
post in.
