I’m not sure exactly whats happened, but I think its to do with a
file being deleted while testing a registry cleaner "not sure"? AnyWay
when I try to start or play on start screen any game I have installed
that needs CD in drive to Play, like "Eidos -Thief Deadly Shadows" I
press to Play & it flickers with screen sort of popping up for a breif
second & then dissapears leaving just the start screen , is anybody
familiar with this or had this happen,. Is there anything I can do to
rectify this , I still havnt learnt how to add back files that have
been backed up yet wich I hope to learn soon. AnyWay
