Where, in this list, do the Tamron 18-250 macro rank, please. I am soon on a cruise in the Carabbean and want to take a compact walkabout lens with me. I have this Tamron lens but have leanings towards the Pentax 55-300.

Thanks. As suspected. The programme you get when you click on 'print' in CS5 is fairly usable, but, there are some of the usable parts of Adobe Print Preview that are are desirable for me.
Updates are sometimes a backward step. Guess you have to live it. Maybe I need to find a Forum for Adobe and ask questions.
Appreciate your response.

regards Thoramay.

When you google Adobe Print Preview and then follow Adobe's instructions it then instructs you to go to 'file' and then to 'print preview' and gives a screen shot of this tab. I canot find this tab on my version of CS5.
I am wondering if this has been discontinued in CS5.

regards Thoramay.

Hi. I am trialing CS5. This does not give me the option of 'print preview' under the 'file' option.

Fellow users do have this option. Any explanation, please.

A hearty thanks to all who have entertained and helped me with my computer problem.
All is now well. Just ten minutes and a change of the C.Mos battery and everything restored to normal.
Am I a happy man. All systems restored and nothing lost including many pictures.

For me, a resolved problem and a look forward to a contented Christmas.
I wish all on here the same.

regards Thoramay

Thaanks, Will. Have tried to burn the ISO file using Nero. It must be me but just could not succeed.
Will try the Hiren route.

This unit was built as a media centre but failed to function as such. After lying idle for a couple of years I have taken it for post processing photos.
The motherboard is the P5Q EM. It has two 250 mb Western Digital drives. The Bios recognises these and one is the priority boot up.
After hours on the Net I have followed through most of the obvious without success. Not yet tried the battery change option, so that I will do.
Have tried to download diagnostic software for the WD drives but this is in a format I have yet to succeed to copy to disc. Have tried diagnostics for memory but, again, without success.
I guess it must now be a trip to the people who built this machine.

Thanks. I have followed all the obvious checks. I am inclined to believe that the Bios is the problem. As this machine is a local business built one and not purchased from one of the usual makers I am at a loss to know how to uncorrupt the Bios. All attempts to bring the machine back to life always ends up with the same message.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

regards

Any member had the dreaded message "Reboot or select proper boot device" and resolved this problem.
Loaded pics on the machine, closed down and then next morning tried to enter and got the above message.
Have been on the Forums but cannot find anyone who has dealt with this successfully.

I am no heavyweight and so no great loss, but I am with Gareth here.

I have been around too long to have patience with those who wields absolute authority.

John, unless you soften your approach, take time, take council before taking action you will allienate many more.

I shall continue to take what is good from this forum.

To those who have been considerate of my stumbling postings, I say a heartfull thanks.
