Hi Tom & List

Windows XP has a system restore feature. You can find it by clicking
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
By Using this feature you can go back to a time when your system was stable.
So if you know it was ok a week ago, restore to then. Data shouldn't be
effected but if you installed a program after that date it will almost
certainly have to be reinstalled.
Before you install any software or make any configuration changes you should
use the system restore feature to set a point that you can restore to if the
configuration changes make your system unstable.
As viruses and spyware can also cause instability, check your antivirus
patterns and anti spyware software are up to date and scan regularly, also
have a firewall, if you only have the xp firewall make sure its on. Use the
windows update to check for any critical windows updates and install them.

Regards
Ken

Hey List, This is as OT as you can get, but I need to know if an XP file
can be sent by email and I know someone on this list will know. : ) A
system file got deleted by mistake and it is causing all kinds of comp
problems. I can have my ex send me a copy of the file, but I do not know if
it will work. It is the rundll32.exe file and I think it could be sent and
placed in it's original location it may work, but at this point I do not
want to make matters worse by trying it with out knowing it is safe to do? I
could just get it of the XP cd, but found out that this e-machine does not
come with a XP cd. Thanks, Tom peregrineflier <><
