-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Restore Point

Don.
I'm going to try all these suggestions as soon as I come back to life, 
have been very sick for the past few days.  I NEVER get sick, I think 
this computer did it.  I have no idea how to do a clean install, so I 
hope things have not gotten to that point.  I have a Compaq Presario XP 
Media Center Edition 2005 that I bought exactly one year ago for a lot 
more than $398, but have never run backups of my important stuff--by 
this I think you mean make CDs, right?  So hopefully after all the 
cleaning up you guys have instructed me on, all will be well again and 
I'll know what to do to prevent this happening again.  Thanks for all 
your help and I'll report back when I get it done. ~Glo

Glo,

If you maintain regular backups of your important stuff, a restore point 
is
a good idea but don't panic if the system won't let you.  After cleaning 
up
the hard drive, if you have serious problems, the worst you would need 
to do
is a clean install and if your system is as old and cranky as suggested,
that probably would not be a bad idea any way.  Especially if you have 
an OS
older than Win XP.
