Hi Shane - OK, before I jump in at the deep end here, please just answer the following so I know what I am doing...
1) Attached screenshot shows that I apparently have quite a few versions of .net framework from 1,0 to 4.xxxx
2) If I use the cleanup tool that I have now downloaded (dotnetfx_cleanup.exe) , will it remove all of the .NET versions on my drive and if so, is that OK ??
3) I have found MSoft's latest version .NET 4 and downloaded it. After the cleanup operation with the "dotnetfx" , do I just install the latest version of .NET or do I have to download and install v 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well??
I won't do anything till I have heard from you as I need to be sure what I am doing before I potentially bugger up the whole lot!!!
Also, as a side issue, I have been trying to install a new USB printer and it will not install. Could the .NET problem be affecting this as well??
Cheers, Barry
