| 692667 | 2008-07-27 03:59:00 | I wrote a few weeks ago about Scandisk freezing and after I got rid of everything associated with Limewire all was well in Windows ME.. Or so I thought. Now I can't enable System Restore, the check box in always checked after unchecking it in Trouble Shooting in System Properties. I can't even find a Restore folder and it isn't listed under Tools in the start Menu anymore. Also, when I click on System Information in the start menu nothing happens. If thats a hopeless case, I see on my Recovery disk that I can format OVER the existing installation of ME instaed of reformatting. OK, here comes the dumb question. If I install over the old installation, would all my updates have precedent over the latest installations [drives, etc]? |

Sometimes the recovery CD will allow you to do a repair install, keeping all data/programs, just replacing the Main OS. Which ever it does, you usually need to redownload any updates etc. |
