HELP!!
I've managed to mess up my machine, not to the unbootable stage or
anything, but it needs serious fixing up. Is there anybody on this
list who would correspond with me privately to answer a few
questions, mostly to do with transfering application settings,
windows settings, and application data between various Windows user
accounts? Mostly, I just need someone to act as a soundingboard for
ideas as I go about fixing things, to make sure I don't mess things
up further.
By the way, this all started when I tried to completely cleanse my
system of Jaws 10 and the changes it made when it was installed,
hoping to revert back to previous versions. Somewhere along the
way, that turned into Windows being unable to load my user profile,
and creating a temporary one for me. I'm not saying that Jaws is at
fault here; it's probably something I caused, while uninstalling
and reinstalling numerous times, or maybe I accidentally messed
something up in the registry. *sigh* It is dismaying when things
can get this screwed up, given that I've been using PC's since 1991.
I'm currently reading
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308421&Product=winxp
Having never booted into safe mode before, my first question is,
how do I go about this, and bring up Jaws in the process?
Again, I'd like to take this off-list because of the obviously
off-topic content.
Chris
