Agree with you drcspy, I too have done many repair installs for this same reason and it has worked every time. No need to start from scratch.	CYaBro (73)

COMPLETELY.............. :stare:	Greg (193)
425454	2006-01-29 08:28:00	and of course you COMPLETELY missed the point........... that he'll still need a disk ............. really ?........did I ?.....who said ? oh you ? you a mind reader then ? sorry to tell you your mind reading abilities seem to have atrophied... GGrrr and why would I simply say "i disagree" ? it seems you think it's NOT preferable to include some indication of my reasoning ? Or am I not allowed ?	drcspy (146)
425455	2006-01-29 08:38:00	???The rules according to Greg: Posts MUST be VERY brief There will be NO inclusion of reasoning behind posters comments Greg will have final say as to suitability of brevity Posters MUST NOT make posts of more than TWO words - even when the rest of the post is further clarification of those important TWO words. Greg will add comments about your posts stating what you understand, (or not), about the subject you are posting about	drcspy (146)

425457	2006-01-29 09:37:00	while a repair install works most of the time (changeing HAL) sometimes it dosn't. problems don't alway rear their ugly head till way later. i've come accross quite a few problematic pc's where a repair install fix has been the main cause of the problems.	tweak'e (69)
