System restore dosen't work,windows picture and fax
viewer dosn't work,cannot associate images with windows
viewers.No thumbnail images,all ****ed up!!!!

Keeps crashing!!

System restore is ON but it doesn't work,cannot restore
to a earlier time.

Can I re-install the operating system over current
operating system? in otherwords a 'new' WindowsXP over
this ****ed up WindowsXP?
 
Sheila,

Do NOT reinstall over your bad system. You will end up with two operating
systems, and neither will work.

You can do i repair install. Boot from the CD, choose setup as opposed to
repair, but after the license agreement choose repair installation.

It is extremely important that you do not choose the first repair option,
because that is really not a repair but the installation of a separate new
system. Don't ask me why the idiots who label these operations cannot see
the confusion they create by using the same word (repair in this instance)
for two very different procedures, one disastrous when applied instead of
the other, although some informed speculation my be in order.

Just out of curiousity, did you try backing up to restore points earlier than the last one? Also, do you have an antivirus program? Also, you may need to reload some drivers. Try booting it up in safe mode and checking for hardware conflicts, etc.
