Default OT - "repairing" Windows XP installation

Just don't rely on system restore. Mine goes through the motions then,
after reboot, it says it wasn't possible, try another date. Same thing
whatever date I choose. Turned the bugger off. I don't know (or care)
what
the problem is BTW


System Restore works extremely well and reliably so if yours isn't then
either you have malware which is crippling it or a serious windows
installation problem. System Restore is a good way of getting rid of
malware
so it's becoming more common for viruses and trojans to disable it first
as
part of their procedures.

I like the way in which you declare that XP is a fine robust OS and that
all problems are hardware glitches. Then you go on (and on) for long
paragraphs discussing problems that are solely software issues and the
fact that the Windows security model sucks donkey dick.


I similarly admire the way you invent things that I haven't actually said in
anything close to your chosen words and then attack them. It's called a
straw man argument but I doubt you know that. After a quick Google Groups
search which reveals you to be a **** who ****es off everyone who encounters
you I'm going to reward that admiration with the latest place in my
killfile. Click. Bye bye ******.
