-=PCTechTalk=- Re: system restore problem

Hi Dolores:

Do a Search for "Incredimail"... You may find several files and folders.   
 When the search is finished, just delete any "incredimail" folders or files
still there.
I am guessing that you did uninstall "Incredimail" from Add/Delete as
well....

Whenever you delete a program, it should be done from Add/Delete... Do not
trust the ones that have the uninstall program included... Best always to do
it from Add/delete and then follow it with a search and remove anything it
cleverly leaves in your computer.

Well I got this computer 11 months ago and didn't have any problems with it 
at all until 3 or 4 weeks ago when I downloaded a trial of Incredimail - it 
took over my computer which I didn't like so I uninstalled it, did a system 
restore (because at that time it was automatically doing one if I made any 
changes) and it didn't work and then all the restore points disappeared.  I 
loved XP for just this feature (system restore) and want the backup in case 
something gets changed.  I have all the suggested safety programs in place 
but despite that it seems things happen.  If I did it your way - waiting 
until the system had problems - doing a restore at that point I would think 
wouldn't help as you would just be saving the problems - however I am NOT 
computer literate so could be way off base.  A perfect example is prior to 
thngs getting messed up, if I downloaded and ran a program, it would 
automatically establish a restore point.  That way  if I didn't like what 
the program was doing I could go back to a time before I installed it.  Well

I just downloaded and ran smart ftp and for the heck of it just checked to 
see if a restore point was made and it wasn't.  Dolores
