Hi Errol, Windows XP on the laptop that I use most of the time, and Windows Vista which I use occasionally.

You're running it as a dual-boot?
What do you want the calendar to do - just tell you the date?

Julie trust you to come up with a sensible answer pmsl.

I want to know what days certain dates fall on in the months ahead, without getting up and looking at the calender in the kitchen or finding my diary out. Lol.

Errol, no not at the moment i have my laptop downstairs and a desk top in the spare bedroom. Have been thinking of a Duel-Boot on the Laptop as i am still finding it hard to get used to Vista.

Yes, I am able to do a Duel-Boot.

Just click on the time in the bottom right hand corner of your screen and a calendar will pop up - Vista and XP

You're welcome. In Vista you could also add a gadget, if you really wanted.

Is a duel boot where you fight with Wellingtons?
