Tech Question

[javbucks]

I've always found for Windows that it's easier to just format and re-install rather than trying to fix deep problems. It can be a hassle if you have tons of data on your computer though but I store all the important things on external hard drives. I also have a neat program called Virtual Box where I have Windows XP and Windows 7 running so I can install new softwares that I don't want to put on my host system.

Thanks for the reply, I've had to do that once before and certainly if this starts pointing toward a more serious problem, I'll have no choice. I really need to find someone who knows the registry well enough to point me where to delete the existing string, I'm convinced that will spell me.

I'm going to put off the re-format, that is such a royal pain. If anyone here at least know of a good reliable forum or tech site that could offer me some advice, I would be very appreciative.

Hi,

This reply may be a bit late. I have found majorgeeks.com to be an excellent source of help. A lot of the guys there are Microsoft accredited, and very helpful. They have sorted out every problem I have put to them. You will need to register. Here is the link to their support forum. http://forums.majorgeeks.com/ They also have an area with software that has been tested for crap.
