Not a personal thing on their part, but for some reason I take it as a personal failing if I do something for one of my parents and they don't like it or can't make it work. Hard to let it go...<br /><br />And by way, curses on Microsoft for changing their operating system so much that my dad can't recognize it.

But that sounds like a case where "you're darned if you do and darned if you don't". For the rest of it I'd just say to step back before you enter into "helping".
