Was the reinstall the result of a virus ?

Sorry BR, can't agree. I have "reinstalled " win98se a number of times on different pc's and only found that it replaced damaged/corrupted windows files and certainly left all the individual user files intact. It doesn't format the hard drive unless you specifically ask it to do so..

There is a UK company that manufactures waste pumps and macerators. Have a look at www.saniflo.co.uk it might give you some ideas.

Many thanks Oilman
