    Plays diff sizes.

    You usually either get a concentric circle recess, or the CD clips in on the centre spindle, either way, they play both sizes.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Why do you need to do that? You can get Ethernet to USB adapters, e.g. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/52599, however it's cheaper to get a network card.

    Could you please give me a link to get one else where, even Amazon?

    Read this article. You may want to try Norton but it will most probably only be a trial for say 60 or 90 days after which you would have to subscribe to continue to use it. AVG free is used by many as mentioned in the article.

    THANKS for that prompt and helpful response! I was not sure whether I could install AVG on Dads computer when Norton is looking to be installed on his computer.

    I will install AVG on both computers. Will both computers definitely be protected when they both have AVG on them and they are networked?

    I would think that Norton comes on his PC but it is not actually installed. If it is already installed and working, there should be a Norton/Symantec icon in the system tray down by the clock and it should be uninstalled before installing an alternative. Your PC's should both be protected if they have AVG installed and it is I believe the most widely used free anti-virus.

    I downloaded AVG but Norton is in the tray with a red circle and a white x on it. Will I have to uninstall AVG and Norton and then reinstall AVG?

    You definitely need to uninstall Norton and you may need to visit the Symantec website to get a removal tool if it won't successfully uninstall from Add/Remove programs. Personally I would uninstall both anti-virus programs and then install the one that you want to use i.e. AVG as it does not take long to re-install again.
