Oh yes good point! I could go through a system restore if Marie really wants to do that, but if it can wait till Saturday, the next time I'll see her, then that would also be great, but if she's stuck I'll sure suggest that to her.

Hi Chris, I think if you are going to do that, you should be a little more careful.First, you should make a restore point if possible. Second, you should back up if possible, anything you uninstall, and never change anything you can'treverse. I am not pointing the finger, I have done all this myself, so I know, believe me.

I uninstalled everything, including her antivirus,and didn't realize that her DVD drive wasn't working properly till too late.So I've now left her without an antivirus, but managed to get her some antispyware protection. What do you all think of me checking stuff outbefore doing any such maintenance? I didn't know this should have been donebefore anything else till tonight. Any comments on this would be greatlyappreciated. I just hope she manages to find at least AVG 7.5 Free as she'sstill using JAWS 8.
