Hello everyone, If I remember correctly if you use the CD to restore system settings this is all it will do. I have installed Windows more than once on top of itself and each and every time not one of my applications were ever affected. I have also heard and experienced for myself that the OS Windows ME is absolutely terrible when it comes to losing its own features. I would suggest that you use the restore CD and all should be well until it loses it self again. I would say that you should change the OS to either 98 or XP and forget ME.

I know the INDEX function worked at one time. I have not tried the System Restore CD since I do not want to wipe out my applications and I am not too sure it will selectively replace only the system. Any suggestions appreciated.. Cy cyrilh@xxxxxxxx --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
