| 828357 | 2009-11-09 01:04:00 | I think most programs will remain, however you may have to reinstall the windows updates | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

I would hate to think I'd have multiple duplicate copies of the same files all over again just taking up space . I let CCleaner remove all the . exe and installation parts of the updates/fixes, etc - so they won't be there for NT-repair to take them out - right? I bet this deletes the "Removal" and "Delete" commands too - huh? Sounds like running CCleaner might prove to be a problem later when someone wants to do the NT-repair . Whatcha think? |

Er well I've never done a repair myself . I've only read on sites, that the updates will have to be reinstalled . |

| 828362 | 2009-11-09 04:34:00 | A repair install puts it back to the version on the CD it is run from . I know that - but does it leave any crumbs from the previous installation? Can it remove all the Hotfixes and the Updates and SP INSTALLATION or DELETION/REMOVAL commands and leftover code? |

| 828363 | 2009-11-09 04:43:00 | A Repair Install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used for the Repair Install. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will need to be reapplied. A Repair Install will replace files altered by adware and malware, but will not fix an adware, malware problem. From 'ere michaelstevenstech.com |

| 828364 | 2009-11-09 06:03:00 | Thanks, guys. The main reason I was was that I bought a new printer, a few weeks back and had a real sod of a time installing it. Had to uninstall, run C Cleaner, about 3-4 times before the sodden thing would work. It's a scanner/copier/ printer and each time one part would work and not another part. Real pain, so you are saying I don't need to worry, in this case? | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 828365 | 2009-11-09 06:18:00 | Did you connect the printer (and turn it on), WHEN it told you to connect the USB cable, and turn the printer on?? You didnt leave the printer USB cable plugged in and turned on did you? Before you installed the software? Because thats what can happen., if you plug the printer in and turn it on, before it tells you to | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
