For the Starlight Express... did you have much success ?

It's that time of year again - the time when I discover that I cannot achieve that which my parents wish me to achieve with their computer. This is not as serious as last year (when a small omission with a jumper inexplicably toastered the entire thing). In fact it's not serious at all. It's just irritating. Any ideas ?

( For heaven's sake, it's only Outlook Express )
