Hi Andy, it's better than system restore in every
respect. Firstly, system restore only restores system,
not programmes, as far as I'm aware, secondly, system
restore is extremely vulnerable to nasties. Even if
you manage amazingly to keep system restore free of
nasties there's no guarantee that the restore data is in
perfect condition, and thirdly, in the event of a
disk failure system restore won't be much good to you. I've never
had any time for it, I don't use it, in fact when I
built my unattended I edited system restore out. With an
image of your C drive you'll have a total backup that
no virus or nasty can invade or
corrupt, which, should anything go wrong you can boot
with and have your
pc back up and running again. John.

Hi Andy, yes, as long as the system was fine at the
point you made the image. It's well worth you
looking at. I'd be surprised if you didn't take to it. I
think the trial's a month, and if you like it it's only
around 40 quid to buy. John.

Hi John - So for example, at the moment, every
time I boot up, I get an error message that a certain dll
file couldn't be found/loaded. If I had an image of
the drive where my OS system resides, from what you
say I could just run the image dvd, and all would
be restored? -

Hi Andy, that's exactly what it is, a snapshot.
When your system messes up just put in the DVD
and half an hour later you're back to how you
were. It's a wonderful bit of software. It's
saved me literally days of
reloading time. John.

John - Thanks for this. Still a bit in the fog
however! Under what kind of circumstances would
one want to image? What does imaging do? I kind
of imagine it takes a snap shot of say a selected
drive, so a kind of back up system that
presumably is faster and takes up less space
than an actual back up. Am I on the right lines?
Thanks -
Andy

Hi Andy, I image with Image For Windows. It's
made by Terabyte unlimited.
It's fully jaws friendly, at least as far as
making the image goes. As for
restoring it's simple if the image has been
burned to DVD, but if the image
is saved to another drive you'd need sighted
assistance. There is, in theory, a way to get
speech feedback when restoring from another
drive, but it involves making an image for linux
recovery CD, and requires an external
speech synth, so it's not worth considering,
unless you happen to have an
external speech synth.
If you've imaged onto DVD it's just a case of
booting with the DVD, then waiting for about
half a minute and pressing y, this being in answer to
the question Do you want to continue? That's all
there is to it. It restores the image and
ejects the DVD, after which you press enter a
couple of times and the pc reboots. The link to Image For
Windows is

Hi John -
I've never used imageing as a tool. sounds like
it is some kind of back up
to protect data ahead of making changes? Can
you tell me where this tool
resides, or perhaps it has to be acquired? and
what it actually does?
Maybe off list unless others are interested
too.
Andy

Subject: [access-uk] uninstalling sapi5 voices
Hi everybody, I've had the Daniel voice on my
pc ever since buying it
several years ago. Since then I've installed
and subsequently uninstalled
other sapi5 voices, and, with one exception
they uninstalled fine. I decided to uninstall
Daniel. Everything seemed to go fine, but I
then found that SAPI5 didn't work, not even
Microsoft Sam. I ran SFC, and when that
didn't help I reinstalled SAPI5. Still no joy.
I'd imaged before trying to uninstall, so I
was able to get things back
to how they had been, but I haven't got a clue
how to get rid of Daniel.
I need to uninstall before I install another
one, as I want to keep my
image down to a single DVD. If I install more
voices without getting rid
of Daniel first it goes over.
I can only think that the uninstaller isn't
up to the job, and is possibly taking files it
shouldn't. Anybody got any
ideas? John.
