| 662420 | 2008-04-25 06:56:00 | Can't restore - all my restore points are gone as well. I did a "Set Restore Point" before the exercise, and I did a backup about 3 weeks ago with Backup4All - haven't yet checked whether it's alive (it's on an external HD but I somehow think it did not back up 100% lat time and I know I've been thinking of changing my HD's and see if the backup goes better - unfortunately not yet). Did the CD reload or recovery from my D:drive (Recovery Partition) - on boot up that was basically the only option that wanted to work, not the bios, or any other option - nothing. I got a DOS-like screen fleetingly at one point but I could not read it, it disappeared too fast. The whole installation went smoothly in the sense that no warnings or comments came up during this exercise. On restarting it just went belly up. sarel |

| 662423 | 2008-04-25 08:32:00 | If you do a repair reinstall of windows, or a reinstall without formatting, it will wipe out all your system configuration and system files but leave all the rest of the previous files (including program files) there. That is why you cannot install comodo again. You need to delete the comodo folder and leftover files from the old installation, then you will be able to install comodo. You will probably need to do this with most of your programs, and that's where it gets hairy, when they left stuff in places other than program files. This is why I never like to do repair installs if possible. Good for getting the system up and running, and to do a backup, but I would recommend format and reinstall afterwards to get rid of the traces of the previous install. If you do decide to do that, slipstream SP3 while you're at it. (and you'll probably need to slipstream IE7 and WMP11 too) |

| 662424 | 2008-04-25 20:15:00 | Eish Agent, I don't know whether I really want to spend another fricken week reformatting and....and.... With me there is aaaaalways a problem somewhere. Yeah, I realised that I should have done it yesterday after the b*ggerup, but I'm really a bit tired now and SWMBO said she'll kill me if any of her photo's, etc are gone - luckily (or unluckily) they are all still there. Btw the tiredness got nothing to do with the PC - SWMBO had me working like a dog yesterday and she's got this biiiiiiiig whip. sarel |

| 662425 | 2008-04-25 22:13:00 | sp3 buggered by tcp stack when i installed, no network connectivity even though i had an ip address? | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 662426 | 2008-04-25 22:25:00 | Hmm SP3 was fine here, with the download in the other forum. It even installed a default NIC which actually worked. And the ip that was allocated also worked This was a clean install tho on the other hdd Think I might wait for the official version, to install on the main hdd and before I SS SP3 again |
