winXP problem.
Hey all,
I'm having a little problem with my XP install and I dont know whats causing it. The problem is simple, I guess. Every once in awhile when I boot up my system (from having it off all night or whatever) it will reset stuff like my theme, and anything that I have installed recently.. basically anything that I have touched gets reset back to before I touched it. Any ideas why this is happening? Its getting on my nerves now. Thanks for any help. |

Doesnt' WinXP have some sort of system restore that runs in the background? I didn't like all the disk space it was taking up so I turned it off.
However, if the computer is autorestoring your system quite a bit, then something serious seems wrong with it. Wish I could be more help but since I never had this problem before, I never had to go through my computer and figure it out myself. |

If you don't like the 10% disk space setting just decrease it. You'll be glad one day that you turned it back on.

I back up all my important files on a regular basis so if something happens to my computer, I will be fine.
Besides which, reformatting and reinstalling everything is not that bad. And it is always a good thing to reformat and reinstall at least once every 6 months. :P |
