Reg? System restore doesn't always work. Even I know this from previous
restores on my computer before I had to unhook everything and take it to PC
warehouse. There were more problems with it then then there are now. Thats
because I run a program called fix it and it cleans up the registry so I
don't mess something up in it.

I hesitate to jump in here and say a totally blind person shouldn't try to
do it, but a totally blind person probably shouldn't try to do it. LOL. As
an interim measure you could try running system restore and picking a
restore date and time when everything seemed to be working properly for you.
This process doesn't lose any of your data. XP can also be installed over
the top of itself and this may solve some problems. Then you wouldn't have
to recreate your E-mail accounts and all that garbage. As for the drivers
if you do decide to do the full reformat before you do it right down the
dell service tag number and code. You can get these under programs/dell
accessories. You can put those in on the support page at Dell and it will
give you all the driver downloads for your system.

Subject: [real-eyes] RESTORING MY COMPUTER
Hello, Everyone:
My computer is 2 1/2 years old and is having some issues recently. Actually
a lot of them and I want to restore my computer to out of the box condition.
I have a Windows XP disk with a serial number; however, I was wondering if
this process is something that can be done by a totally blind person. My
husband, who is sighted, tells me that he would do it for me, but my
computer is a Dell and he is afraid of doing it because of the drivers. I
don't have a drivers disk, but I know the drivers for my computer are
available on the Dell website. That would be another question I have. How do
I know what drivers I need if I want to reformat my computer? Can I install
windows on top of the windows I have on my computer, or is it done
differently. I have no money to take it to a professional, which is my
preference, and my new semester begins on Monday. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Alicia
