Default Re: Down

I have felt this pain myself, having to trudge for weeks just to have every single program works correctly as before. Man....it's really mighty tedious especially with the OCD thing that I have.

Next time Don (although I haven't done this myself) you need to create an "image" of your hard-disk, so that anytime you need to reinstall Windows or formatting/replacing hard-disk, all you need to do to restore everything to status quo was simply "applying the image" back to the new hard-disk, it's very very quick and Windows has a built-in feature to do this task. Although of course, you need to have quite a lot of space (preferably in another separate HDD) to store the "image" in, since it's copying virtually everything from the old HDD, nook-cranny and free-space and all.
