Windows XP repair

[KEN]

Can someone please tell me the EXACT steps using the Windows Home Edition CD
how to run a Windows repair install. Thanks. If you were to include
instructions about how to avoid having to enter a password in order to use
my PC every day, I'd appreciate that, too. Thanks, again.

What issues have you encountered that you think a Repair Install would
address?

Using your original Windows Setup CD, boot from the CD and follow all the
instructions until you get to the point where Setup finds your current
Windows installation. Just follow the instructions posted at one of the web
sites below, read each of the steps carefully so you understand what you
will be doing step by step before you actually start the repair process.
Windows will keep your previous settings, including applications and device
drivers.

Word of warning: Always backup any important data files just incase
things don't go as expected. Read all three articles mention below
"carefully" and see if a Repair Install meets your needs

Finally go to Windows Update site and install all the updates as they will
need to be reinstalled.
