sorry I should have checked and got it right the first time.

The old version was a VERY old one, for some reason struggling to find the version number.
The newly installed one is 1.3.7.1

All I have done since install is change the colours etc and put up my store banner.

I have also uploaded the direct bank payment module (for payment to Australian bank Accounts).

does that help at all?

when I ran the upgrade the products and customers etc were retained and all was looking good - just can't check out? minor problem lol!
