Hi again,

I tried typing it in and this came up:

Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

Waiting for another reply, thanks a lot
