As regards a computer being offline great if you are not too bothered about auditioning some of the style or maybe even realtracks, as a lot require an internet connection in biab.

Thanks for the tip about sandboxie. I will definitely have a go at it. I take it if downloading an exe that I am not sure of, I would probably have to install an antivirus and antimalwarebytes in the sandbox drive as well to scan them?

I do have virtualization on my computer with VMware player, I have windows xp installed. My main OS is windows 7 32 bit.

Xp runs a little slow there in the guest OS, I just use it mainly to run a little game called The Farm an old windows 95 game that my seven year old loves. runs ok there.

Strange thing though it will run ok in windows 7 as well, but without sound, but switch on my fast track pro and hey presto we have sound.

Strange really and I have tried everything to get sound on it with windows 7, but it will only have sound with the m-audio fast track pro on.
