Hi and welcome to the forum

2 things...
Please take a moment to read the forum rules and then amend your thread title to something descriptive of your problem. Once you have done this please send me a PM and I will remove this request. (Also, include a link to your thread - copy from the address bar)

To change a Title on your post, click EDIT POST then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

and 2nd...It would help if you added some punctuation to your text. You have 188 words in over 5 lines of text, and the ONLY punctuation you have (that I can see) is 1 single comma. Adding punctuation makes the text easier to read, and helps it make sense

Thanks
