Yeah, I've had my new computer a whopping ten days now and I've already screwed it up. I just want to go back and undo what I did (halfway install Jasc PSP10...and 9 and then 8 when neither of those would go). Yes, System Restore is tuned on. All the restore points I try before attempting the PSP says the dates aren't available. I haven't tried any date after the attempted installation date. (that would be pointless, ...yes?...) Should I just restart the whole thing over? (pardon my lack of computerspeak) I mean dump everything and start with the disks? I have the 'Windos XP Media blah blah one :arrow: I have one request concerning the answer(s) I get: Please, speak clearly and use small words. As I am a puter-My Friend from way back. It's like my espanol- I know just enough to get in to trouble :shock:
Linux is way ahead of Redmond Linux has become a better desk top for the average user. It has been a better server. Most of the distros have made it work a lot like windows without the downside. You certainly can not beat the price.
nsanemom22, What brand PC did you buy? You should have tech support available. They will walk you through the re-install if it's really necessary. I don't think you need a re-install. I think you needed upgrades to the Windows XP before installing the PSP. If PSP is giving you problems and restore won't work just go to "Start" then "Control Panel" then "Add / Remove Programs" and start removing all the software "you" have loaded. Notice the "you"!! After un-installing all the programs you loaded do a re-boot and see what you get. If it's running good, go to "Windows Updates" in your start menu and do an "express" update. After it's done and reboots, go do the "express" update again. Keep doing it again and again till it lists "no" updates. Then reload your software, one at a time. Do a re-boot and check for running problems after each program is installed. When your happy do a "restore point" and you'll have a fall back to a running machine. Pirate96 I have to disagree with you there. Has too many "driver" problems for the "average" user. Ken's push has convinced me to give it a try. I've been evaluating it on 3 PC's as a second boot and the 2 proprietary machines are having problems as I test different hardware and software. The custom built machine had problems but they were minor, so far. As most people are buying proprietary machines I see it as a problem. With the way the common PC user clicks "yes" on the web these days I think it would be a nightmare for them. I think it's great for the above average user. I'm starting to like it but I don't see me ever throwing out the MS.
