PROBLEMS

[GIBBY]

HAVE LOST DR. WATSON AND OTHER EMBEDED FILES. THE QUESTION
IS, CAN I DOWNLOAD WINDOWS XP CD FROM THE START-UP AND NOT
LOOSE ANY PROGRAMS THAT WE NOW HAVE. WILL IT ONLY REPLACE
ANY ITEM THAT IS MISSING WHEN RE-INSTALLING WITHOUT
DELETING WINDOWS XP FIRST?

if your using xp then try "system restore " located

in accessories under system tools... restore back to a
date when it last ran well. that should help....
