My pet hate is when you pay good money out for something that doesn't work. The first question the sales assistant should have asked - is what operating system you're using and to check if what you're intending to buy is compatible. I think you were mis-sold this and you should be entitled to your money back. Anyway hope you're able to sort it.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.com
