The 7805 I have is from radio shack and it is rated up to 35VDC.
It does sound like it would be easier just to get a different transformer, especially with my limited abilities.
Any ideas where I could find a 5V transformer?????
Thanks to everyone for the encouragement,
Dominick

Dominick,
neutron7 is suggesting you use the same transformer in full wave. Your input cap should remain where you have it. Anything around 1,000 uF and in excess of your actual voltage plaus a saftey margin will work well.
The 10uF value is on the output of the regulator.

ok--I will get the caps organized correctly. As far as the transformer goes:
There are 3 taps for the secondary. Which ones should I use for the 2 output leads?
The left and center one???
I am currently using the left and right one. I did not know there was a difference.
Thanks,
You guys are a big help!

No cap?! ZOMG. Thats gonna make everything a problem.
You will HAVE to add something there.
If that works, and end of problem, fine . But if not, you may want to try feeling the 7805 - cos if it gets hella hot, you need to bring the input amperage down...
