Hi

A few months ago I lost my user profile andI used the information in tip
4631 at http://www.jsifaq.com and it worked fine. However last week I had the
same problem again so again I used tip 4631 but on this occaision it only
part worked ie:

The profile has been recovered and my documents and favourites are all
present however Norton AV asks to be uninstalled and reinstalled, about 50%
of my desktop icons are missing, I only have about 20% of my installed
programmes showing in Start>All programmes, the only way to open an MS office
programme is via an already saved document and IE keeps crashing eveytime I
type an address in the address bar and hit return.

Any ideas what this could be and how I can resolve it?

Hi Dave

Thanks for your help. Only one problem, the guy who I boughth the machine
off never supplied me with the Win 2000 disk and he has since gone out of
business and returned to Germany!

Any idea how I can proceed?

Buy one for $10 or so on ebay.
