D'you know when you've downloaded or installed a new software program?
And the 'helpful' online manual runs to several hundred sections, and each section has at least 5,698 sub-sections.
And you glance at it and think.......
"How hard can it be"?
And because you're reasonably computer literate, and used to problem-solving on a daily basis, you think.......
"Oh, for goodness sake. I can probably work out what I need to do in next to no time so I'll just get stuck in and do it".
And finally, after 2 frustrating, howl-at-the-moon, chew-your-own-leg-off-whilst-banging- your-head-on-the-desk hours, you just want to crawl away whimpering in search of the gin bottle.
Well.
That's me that is.

I'm a tecnology ignoramus and I can well see myself in that position. I use to say : I do not understand but I adapt myself.Good luck Rosanna
Thanks for all the support ladies. Much appreciated.
As I have to crack the software I shall be joining battle with it again later. I wouldn't mind so much, but I had found an 'idiot's guide' tutorial, giving step by step instructions on exactly what I wanted to do, so I have no excuse.
Although from reading the comments following the tutorial, lots of other people got to exactly the same stage as I did then everything went pants.
So I am not alone in my doofusness.
