I have two things that have "gone wrong" with XP since
original install (computer originally came with ME) and
one thing I've lost due to a reformatting/reinstall.
First the stuff that isn't working right.
1. I installed a compression program to open up some non
*.zip file, but after I uninstalled it - every time I
want to create a zip file through windows it asks if I
want windows to be the default. Every time I click that,
yes, I do want it to be the default. But somehow, it
seems that windows is unable to "remember" that it was
previously selected as the default.
2. When I first installed XP I was able to burn CDs from
within the XP shell. Somehow a long time ago this
ability dissapeared and I have to use 3rd party software.
The thing I lost:
My OEM install of ME came with some Windows themes like
the Leonardo DaVinci one. I can't find it on the OEM
windows disk, is there a place on the MS website to get
these themes?
I am an electrical engineering student and am comfortable
with doing everything on the computer except editing the
registry.
Any help would be appreciated - please email me, I've
included my email address.
