From my notes, 7448 Grey Scotch Brite is about 800 grit, depending on pressure?
800 ANSI(sandpaper), 1500 FEPA "P"(abralon).

I'm never sure which standard is being used when people talk about surface grit.

Thanks. CTRL-A worked. I tried clicking all over the page, but "select all" wouldn't come up as an option. I know i've seen it on there before but not now.

Re: PC Video software suggestions

Any chance your re-install left a "windows.old" folder? Some installs will leave one even if you don't ask for it. If it did, it might have a copy of your app.
