OR...you could wait to try to win the free copy of Office 2003 I'm giving
away on Dec 1...courtesy of MS!<wink>
Details will be posted in TechTrax (www.mousetrax.com/techtrax) tomorrow. In

I totally agree Dian!
I also have never formatted for a clean start... But this time was
different...
I had two other 'significant' beta apps on the system apart from Office
2003, plus there were dregs of stuff all over the place from the last = few
years...
But the crowning glory was when I started cleaning up the registry = (hoping
to fix a few niggling problems), went to back up the registry, was
distracted, and actually *restored* a registry backup from January this
year!
I could have fixed even that... But with a system upgrade around the =
corner, and a nice new, bigger hard drive sitting and waiting to go in, I =
decided to take the plunge and do the 'fresh start' thing now... ;-)
And to keep this vaguely on topic... I'm about to put back on Office =
2003
(still the beta), so wish me luck in reconfiguring!

I must add that I'm really amazed with folks who are constantly wiping =
their HDs to clean it out cos' they have so many conflicts.=20
Granted, I have had to get new HDs a few times due to bad controllers = and
HDs that have gone south...but I can't EVER remember reformatting any of =
my HDs in 15 yrs to get a "fresh start."=20
<knock, knock, knock> And I've beta tested, installed TONS of crap on my
systems and done a lot of testing, purposely blow it up with code to = test,
etc, etc.=20
When problems arise, I generally try to find the source and fix it = versus
resorting to trashing it all and starting over. Personally, I feel it's = a
better way to learn, but I also don't want to go through all that work = to
reset everything! Sheesh...what a job THAT would be! Maybe it's cos' I = do
so much customization and can't think of having to do all that =
again...maybe I'm lazy...maybe I'm lucky to have Greg around to help if
things get = really bad...but I just can't see going through all that unless
that's the ONLY = way to fix a computer. And in 15 yrs...unless I've been
FORCED to redo a = system cos' my HD went belly up and I needed to replace
it with a new = one...I've never purposely wiped a drive.
Just wanted to voice my experience on this cos' I think a lot of newbies =
get the idea that it's something that needs to be done now and then...and I
= just don't feel it's necessary. =20

I'm not going anywhere Linda!
That's what laptops are for... ;-)
I was hoping to put off the big reinstall until I had my release copy of
Office 2003, but this can't wait any longer!
If MS ever develops a self-repairing registry, I'll kiss Bill Gates' =3D =
feet!
