Lazarus 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 you could try a system restore 194130[/snapback] ??? 194132[/snapback] Every now and again, windows takes a 'snapshot' of your system. it basically copies all the critical system files, puts a date and time stamp on them, then hides them out the way. if your pc is kaput you can 'restore' it to a date and time when you knew your pc was working perfectly. Doesnt always work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
