Wanna hear something funny? That link wouldn't even open in IE8, so I had to open it in Firefox - ha!!! It sounds a bit scary given MS operating systems,so I'm not sure if I'm going to try it... but thanks for the info!

I've posted way too many times on this thread.

System Restore like having a parachute in a crashing plane. It's not like fooling around with the registry. It's impossible to mess anything up usingit. It's totally safe, completely reversible and very simple. And although it can still be used for problems (or even a disaster) without ever having usedit before, setting your own restore points can save a lot of headaches.

Can someone please chime in here and help our friend Greg realize what a safe and invaluable tool this is? Anyone?

LOL! I appreciate it very much, Gregg... but you gotta understand that I'm a "computerphobe" and I always manage to mess things up, no matter howsimple. Mind you, I'm very talented as a user, but hell, I can't even figger out how to get my USB ports to read my flash drive when I plug it in. Sobelieve me, it's NOT that I don't trust your advice - I just don't trust ME to do it!!

There are way too many Greg(g)s here! :)

Greg, Gregg (hotbirdsplanes) is absolutely correct. It is a wonderful tool that is very simple to use. You really can't mess up anything using it and isthe best way to reverse anything you have done that turned out bad. Since you are using XP, it is a very simple process and very user friendly. I would takeGregg's advice and go for it, you can't screw it up! :)

I was using IE8 loving it and WHAMO it completely melted down yesterday. I am using google chrome now and like it so far.
