Lionel, it's a real hassle having to reformat - I have only done it once, if my memory serves me rightly. I can't tell you what went wrong with your system, I'm afraid - someone else might, with luck. Rose has had no problem, as you will have read. (Rose, System Restore was in WinMe, and is certainly a component of XP. I never had 98, but I don't think that has it.) I would try as Rose suggests if I were you, that is having both programs. It should be OK. They are different, so I would expect them to run well together. You wouldn't have them in your Start up folder, would you?
