DO NOT back up the registry

You know, I am sure that's why!!! can't see the trees for the forrest.

Hi phats,

Happens to us all, do you have a Service Pack on your XP Home with all Windows updates and patches?

Cheers.

I had all of them on the copy and when I did the system recover, that took them off so I had to update windows XP home for about 24 hours straight!!! but I have done that and all seems to be well. I cleaned the DOS aspect with a down load from Trend Micro but liked the AVG program so much that I bought the 48 month package that allows scheduling and left it on this computer. The AVG discovered several TROJ programs (6) and the Trend Micro sysclean picked up one AVG missed in the DOS. I left the Trend micro on the lap top which is running the XP pro. I think I am good to go now. Other than taking all my applications off and the PITA of having to put all that stuff back on???? The good news is, I discovered I had a LOT if extraneous stuff on this thing!

Thanks again for putting up with me!
